Vietnamese Phoenix Rolls, also known as Banh Phuong Hoang, are a popular appetizer in Vietnamese cuisine. These deep-fried rolls are crispy, delicious, and can be served as a snack or an appetizer. The rolls are made with a combination of chicken, ham, and shrimp, which are seasoned with green onions, lemongrass, salt, and pepper. The rolls are wrapped in spring roll wrappers, which are then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. These rolls are typically served with a dipping sauce, such as Nuoc Cham Sauce. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made at home with just a few simple ingredients.

5.Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, folding the sides in as you go.
6.Repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.
