To me, summer rolls is not just a healthy dish when it comes to food. This is the food that I often shared with my close friends in Vietnam. When we got together for a small party, this dish was always on the menu. Until now, when I am far away, we are still chatting about how happy we are when having this dish together.
Since arriving in New Zealand, whenever I have chances to invite my international friends over, summer rolls is the dish I prepare for them. I am proud to say that everyone loves it. Some of my friends even tried to make summer rolls that followed my recipe. They all said this dish is healthy, yummy and easy to prepare. Since this is my first time posting on Foodie Bee Hive, I think I should start with this traditional meal.
Living overseas means that I might not be able to find the same ingredients for the best summer rolls I used to have. I also have to tweak the recipe to make it work. But honestly, it is easy to make summer rolls with just any fresh ingredients you have. Below are how to prepare summer rolls for 2 people. It is summer here in NZ now so every weekend I would prepare this for our lunch.
The recipe below I wrote for my friends as they would like to make it for their family. There is no need to follow the recipe at all. You can add any ingredients you like to your summer rolls.
Vegeterian summer rolls with simple ingredients: fried eggs, cucumber, capsicum and red cabbage
If you want to eat with meat, you can add pork...
Summer rolls with beef wrapped in kawakawa leaves
Summer rolls is a great option when you have to cook for friends that are meat-lovers and vegeterians
How we eat summer rolls in Vietnam. We all sit down on the floor and have meals together
SUMMER ROLLS RECIPE for 2 pp
You will need:
• 3 big lettuce leaves or if you love green, add as much as you want. If you don't have lettuce, don't worry any green could do. I used both green and red cabbage, spinach, green salad leaves before and they were all good.
• 1 big carrot or 2 small ones: Chop them into long and thin slices so it will be easier to do the wrap.
• 1 capsicum: Chop them into long and thin slices
• Half-cucumber: Chop them into long and thin slices
• Mushroom (optional) (stir-fry)
• Broccoli (optional) (stir-fry)
• 4 eggs
• Rice noodles (100gr)
• Rice wrapper
• Garlic and soy sauce
Instructions to prepare all the ingredients
• Break the eggs in a bowl, put in a bit of salt then mix well before frying them with oil, try to make them thin and round, then you can slice them to wrap summer rolls.
• Chop garlic into small pieces then stir fry them (using the same frying pan for the egg). Keep half of them and mix with premium dark soy sauce.
• I like to stir-fry broccoli with garlic. Again using the same pan (by doing this in order, I don’t have to clean a lot)
• Soak rice noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until it is soft or some rice noodles you will have to cook for 5 minutes
• Tear the lettuce leaves into pieces
• Prepare one big bowl of cold water as you will need to wet the rice paper
• You can put carrot, cucumber, capsicum (chopped) and stir-fry things on one plate and use another for rice noodles, lettuce and eggs.
How to Wrap:
For Vietnamese, I don't have to explain this part but I find most of my foreign friends struggling to get it right. So please pay attention to this.
Once everything is ready. You'll need to:
• Dip the rice wrapper into a bowl of cold water, then quickly take it out
• Place it in a place.
• Start with a piece of lettuce or cabbage, then rice noodle, some slice of eggs, carrot, cucumber, capsicum, mushroom and broccoli, then roll it. You can close at both sides to make it look nicer and easy to eat
• Serve with the garlic dark soy sauce
I hope you will enjoy this recipe. If you have any questions, please do let me know in the comment below.
This is the first post in my food series blog to aim for raising awareness about the importance of eating real food. You might ask "What do you mean by that?". Eating real food means eating foods in their natural stage, reducing as much as possible processed food and ultra-processed food in your daily consumption.
So my friends, why not start our new year's resolutions by making positive changes to our life with the first easy step - eating real food?

Oooh! These look positively delicious! @ZakLudick I wonder if we could give these a whirl?
It is super easy to make with just what ever you have. Just make sure if you prepare it as a main meal, you will need at least one ingredients that is rich in protein (either eggs, beef or pork).
Let me know if you guys need any help. Cheers, Dora

ui, em thích sự ngon và màu sắc ni, mê món cuốn với rau lắm chị😍
ahihi giống chị nè, chị là mê mẩn cái món cuốn ở mình, các loại cuốn luôn là niềm đam mê mãnh liệt
Ah, now I knew the wrapper using rice wrapper. I was curious since long time about the wrapper :)
Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you, Anggrek. Rice wrapper is a must-have item in our kitchen. We use it for many things. Just the other day, we ate Korean BBQ, for Asians it is easy to just put BBQ stuff in a lettuce leave and wrap it. But for my partner, he made a mess so I had to give him the rice wrapper to use. He loves it that way.
Sometimes, I cook Vietnamese savoury pancake using rice wrapper as a base, adding eggs, green onions, shrimp as topping. So Yum
Đây là món mà hầu hết người Việt Nam sẽ làm nếu tụ tập ăn tiệc hoặc có bạn bè quốc tế tham gia vì nó thực sự rất tươi mát, ko cần cầu kì nấu nướng gì nhiều, phù hợp với cả người ăn thịt, ăn chay, GF... Mà nếu ăn ko hết thì để hôm sau làm bún trộn vẫn ngon lành. Đọc bài viết xong tui lại thèm thuồng nàng ạ.
uh chuẩn quá nàng ạ, đồ thừa hôm sau trộn với nhau lại ăn ngon lành. Cái món này chỉ tốn thời gian rửa rau với thái thôi, xong đâu đấy là nhẹ nhàng. Hôm nào mà tôi cảm thấy cần ăn healthy với ngon cái miệng là y như rằng có phiên bản giới hạn của summer rolls - kiểu tủ lạnh còn gì thì làm cái đó. Nàng về đến Auckland chưa?
Đúng là món ăn quốc dân, ai cũng làm được. Bọn tui về đến nơi tối qua rồi.
Que delicioso se ve amiga y todos esos colores de las verduras hacen que el plato resalte. Saludos! @dora381
Thank you so much for stopping by. One of the reasons we call it summer rolls is because it represents our lively and colourful summer. I am so thrilled that you like it. Have a lovely day
Tui thích summer rolls, vừa healthy, tasty, dễ làm nhìn thích mắt nữa. Ngày trước ăn kiêng tui hay làm cái này ăn :) Giờ bắt đầu lại chế độ ăn iêng chứ 1 năm qua bỏ bê quá
Much !LUV
ờ nhà tôi nghiện lắm. Zai lúc nào cũng là big fan nên tôi hay làm. Cứ sau mấy hôm ăn nhiều đồ thịt là lại làm món này. Vừa nhiều rau lại vẫn có đủ chất.
Nhìn ngon mà heo thỳ nữa nàng ạ 😋
hihi cám ơn nàng, uh cái món này bây giờ thành món tủ của tôi rồi. Có gì làm cũng được chứ ko phải cầu kì nên thích lắm
Chồi ôi không có chị là em không nhớ bao lâu rồi em bỏ quên món này luôn 🤪
Dạo này không biết ăn gì mà bỏ quên mấy món hồi xưa mê mẩn ăn mỗi ngày. Ở em miền Nam ăn khác, giờ ở miền Trung ăn khác. Miền Bắc lại khác nữa. Bữa nào làm theo kiểu này của chị thử 🤤🤤🤤
Uh ngày xưa ở Việt nam mình làm món phở cuốn này là đủ các thể loại rau củ quả màu sắc luôn í. Bên này chị nhiều khi kiếm ko ra nên cứ có gì trong tủ là làm. Cơ bản là chỉ cần có dưa chuột, capsicum rồi rau xanh, ko có thịt thì cuốn chay với chứng cũng ngon lắm rồi. Mùa hè là chị cứ ăn hàng tuân luôn í vì rau mùa hè có sẵn
Beautiful, fresh, healthy and yummy!
Nhớ lúc ở với Hiền hay ăn món nay Dung ơi, thèm quá 😍
uh món này được mọi người thích lắm em ạ. Ăn ngon mà lại healthy nữa
