How to Make Spring Rolls With Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce
- **Prepare the Spring Rolls:**
- In a large bowl, soak 8 oz rice noodles in warm water for 5 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened rice noodles with 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup thinly sliced spring onions (white and green parts), and 1/2 cup bean sprouts.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (coriander). Gently toss to combine.
- Lay out one rice paper wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place approximately 1/6 of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides, and tightly roll up the wrapper like a sausage.
- Moisten the top edge with a little water to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully add the spring rolls to the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the spring rolls and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- **Prepare the Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce:**
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Bring to a near boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once cool, stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (coriander), 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
- Let the sauce infuse for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator for best flavor before serving.
- Serve the crispy spring rolls hot with the Nuoc Cham dipping sauce. Enjoy!
