The last street food we had on the street of our hotel in district 10 before moving to district 1! Fresh spring rolls with a peanut soy and chili dipping sauce of course! I’ve eaten Vietnamese spring rolls here a few times already, but it wasn’t until today that I took a photo! It’s classic Vietnamese. So fresh and light, yet full of flavour.  Check out wiki to learn more: Gỏi cuốn Wiki Page

Here are the basic components of a fresh spring roll (Or “Gỏi cuốn” in Vietnamese):

-          Rice paper for wrapping

-          Cilantro and maybe mint

-          Lettuces

-          Green onion

-          Sticky rice noodles

-          Cucumber and carrot (sometimes)

-          Proteins like shrimp and thinly-sliced pork
