The spring rolls are from Vietnam, there you can enjoy different kinds of recipes. The one I present you here is 'Bi Cuon', this is the traditional recipe using the pork rind ('Bi'). These rolls are not so easy to find because in restaurants it is almost always the recipe 'Goi Cuon' which is proposed, the one with the pork chest and shrimp.
Do not be reluctant because of the pork rind, in the end, its mixture with the grilled rice powder will give a
truly excellent taste and fragrance and a very pleasant texture as well.
Concerning the rice papers, there are many brands and qualities. To make the spring rolls, when I can compare in the store I like to choose the ones that are the most translucent and that contain cornstarch or tapioca starch.They will give a more elastic and soft texture.
The rolls do not keep very long because the rice papers will dry and the flavors decrease, it is better to eat them shortly after making. Enjoy with
homemade spring roll dipping sauce in which you will add crushed peanuts.
