What is Goi Cuon?

Goi Cuon, often celebrated as Vietnamese Salad Rolls or Fresh Spring Rolls, is a delightful dish that beautifully showcases the vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. Originating from Vietnam, these rolls not only offer a culinary treat but are also a healthy and refreshing choice.

These rolls are a colorful medley of fresh ingredients, artfully wrapped in translucent rice paper, creating a feast for the eyes. The filling typically includes:

-Vermicelli rice noodles
-Crisp lettuce
-Aromatic herbs (such as cilantro and mint)
-Protein options (like shrimp, chicken, or veggies)

The rolls strike a delicate balance of sweet and savory flavors, complemented by a hint of umami. They are often paired with dipping sauces such as hoisin or peanut sauce.

The magic unfolds as these ingredients are carefully encased in rice paper, resulting in a light and portable roll that provides a satisfying crunch from the vegetables and an explosion of freshness in every bite. The dipping sauces enhance the experience, adding an extra layer of flavor that perfectly complements the rolls.
