Authentic Vietnamese Spring Rolls, also known as Nem Ran or Cha Gio, are a popular appetizer in Vietnamese cuisine. They are made with a variety of fillings, including pork, shrimp, chicken, or a combination of vegetables, and wrapped in a rice paper wrapper before being fried until crispy and golden brown. The result is a crunchy, savory appetizer that is often served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. Spring rolls can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack or even as a meal themselves. They are perfect for gatherings, parties, or as a lighter meal option.
