Vietnamese Summer Rolls

Vietnamese Summer Rolls, or Gỏi cuốn, are a wonderfully fresh, light, and healthy appetizer. Unlike their fried spring roll counterparts, these rolls are not cooked. They consist of cooked shrimp, fresh herbs like mint and cilantro, and rice vermicelli noodles, all neatly wrapped in a delicate, translucent sheet of rice paper. The rolls are served chilled or at room temperature, making them perfect for a warm day. They are typically served with a savory and slightly sweet peanut dipping sauce. The process of rolling them is a fun, hands-on activity, and the result is a beautiful and delicious roll that showcases all its fresh ingredients.
