Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Cooks in 20 min Difficulty Easy

Introducing Vietnamese Spring Rolls, known as Cha Gio!
While traditionally made with egg roll wrappers, my recipe puts a unique twist on this classic dish by using rice paper instead. This not only adds a delicate texture but also makes these spring rolls gluten-free and lighter.

And here’s the secret tip to take them to the next level: before rolling, baste the rice paper with beer or coconut milk for an extra crispy finish. Get ready to roll up some deliciousness with my recipe that puts a fresh spin on a beloved favorite!
