Known for their refreshing and light flavors, these delightful rice paper rolls are a must-try for anyone looking to experience authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
Fresh Spring Rolls (Gỏi Cuốn)
Fresh Spring Rolls, known in Vietnamese as Gỏi Cuốn, are a classic dish that embodies the balance of flavors and textures that Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated for. At Pho Dena, we believe in serving food that nourishes both the body and the soul, and our spring rolls are no exception.
What's Inside?
Each roll is meticulously wrapped in delicate rice paper and packed with an array of fresh ingredients:
Shrimp: Tender, juicy shrimp lend a subtle sweetness to every bite.
Fresh Vegetables: Crunchy lettuce and cucumbers add a refreshing crispness.
Herbs: Fragrant herbs like mint and cilantro give a burst of aroma and flavor.
Rice Vermicelli: Light and chewy rice noodles offer a satisfying texture.
The Dipping Sauce: Peanut Perfection
No spring roll is complete without a delectable dipping sauce. Our spring rolls are served with a homemade peanut dipping sauce that's the perfect blend of savory, sweet, and nutty flavors. This creamy sauce adds depth and complexity, elevating each bite to a new level.
