Fresh Vietnamese rolls (Gỏi cuốn)
Fresh rice-paper rolls filled with rice noodles, pork belly, prawns, vegetables and herbs, served with peanut sauce.
This version follows the southern Vietnamese style of gỏi cuốn: fresh rice-paper rolls filled with noodles, herbs, vegetables and cooked protein. Serve them freshly assembled, not fried, with peanut sauce on the side.
Method
- 01
Prepare the vegetables and herbs
Wash the lettuce leaves, bean sprouts, mint, cilantro and Chinese chives. Separate the lettuce leaves and herbs; cut the cucumbers into thin batons and finely chop the tender part of the chives for the filling. Set aside a few chive stems to place inside the rolls.
10 min - 02
Cook the pork belly and prawns
Place the pork belly in boiling water and cook it for 20 minutes. Remove it and reserve one cup of the cooking liquid. Cook the prawns in the same liquid until opaque and cooked through. Let the pork and prawns cool; cut the pork into thin strips, then peel and halve the prawns.
20 min - 03
Cook and drain the noodles
Cook the rice noodles according to the time on the package. Drain them well and rinse with room-temperature water.

Make the peanut sauce
Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan and cook the chopped garlic until fragrant. Stir in the hoisin sauce, peanut butter and one cup of the reserved broth. Stir until the sauce thickens, then let it cool. Serve with the chopped roasted peanuts sprinkled on top.

Soften the wrappers and roll
Dip one rice-paper wrapper in room-temperature water until it can be folded, then lay it flat on a work surface. Add lettuce, mint, Chinese chives, cilantro, cucumber, bean sprouts, noodles, pork and prawns. Roll halfway, fold the sides inward, add a Chinese chive stem and finish rolling firmly. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
