VIETNAMESE SUMMER ROLLS INGREDIENTS
To make these easy summer rolls, all you need is a bunch of simple ingredients:
- crunchy fresh veggies
- rice paper wraps
- steamed salmon fillets
For the veggies: I used spinach leaves, purple cabbage and carrots, but feel free to use any kind of veggies you like.
I kept my rolls pretty basic, and didn't add any fresh herbs, but you can add your favourite fresh herbs: cilantro, mint, and basil all work well.
For the fish: you can buy pre-cooked salmon fillets so a very quick meal, alternatively, if you have a bit of extra time, simply steam two salmon fillets, let them cool slightly, and proceed with the recipe.
For the rice paper wraps: you should be able to find them at your local Asian store, or in big supermarkets (look for the international aisle).
I usually opt for the large 22cm wraps, but the small ones are perfect for party-sized summer rolls.
For the dipping sauce: you can serve these salmon summer rolls with your favorite dipping sauce. Sweet chilli sauce, sriracha and of course, the basic Vietnamese dipping sauce called Nuoc Cham all work well.
These Vietnamese Salmon Summer Rolls are so crunchy and refreshing that you would want to prepare them again and again.
They're a perfect spring/summer snack to bring to the office/ school or to serve at parties and picnics!

Vietnamese Salmon Summer Rolls

- 3 carrots
- ½ purple cabbage
- 100 g baby spinach leaves

Instructions

- On one side of the wet rice paper wrap, layer few spinach leaves, 4-5 carrot matchsticks and few slices of cabbage. Top with salmon chunks and brush with your favourite sauce.
- Roll the bottom of the rice paper over the salmon & veggies, then fold in the left and right side, and continue to fold over and roll until your summer roll is sealed.
- Repeat the method for each roll.

oh I have always been a fan of Vietnamese rice paper rolls. They are so yummy and healthy. These ones look so simple and yet lovely.
Helen @ Fuss Free Flavours says
Such lovely flavours to make a delicious summer lunch. They would make a great dish for a summer evening get together with friends. I always think the rice wraps look so delicate, but find they work well as long as you don't get too rough with them.
toastycritic says
These summer rolls look amazing. I am sure they taste amazing too. My only problem is that I would be too nervous to screw up with the wraps. It's probably why I have never made sushi before because I worry I would screw it up.
Andrea says
Oh no, don't worry about it! They look delicate, but they're quite elastic and rarely break up in the wrapping process. Give it a try, they're really tasty and fun to make :)!
Christie Brown says
