Chicken and Vegetable Spring Rolls with Tangy Sauce

Crispy Vietnamese-Style Spring Rolls 🥢✨

These chicken and vegetable spring rolls bring together everything we love about Vietnamese nems — crisp shells, juicy filling, and that irresistible balance of tangy, savory, and aromatic flavors. Wrapped in lettuce with fresh herbs and dipped in a bright lime–fish sauce, they’re the kind of appetizer that disappears fast at any gathering!

Made with finely chopped chicken, earthy mushrooms, crunchy vegetables, and soft mung bean noodles, these rolls deliver a beautiful contrast in textures. The beer-enhanced soaking trick also makes the rice paper easier to handle, giving you smooth, tear-free wrapping every time. 🍺😉

What Makes These Rolls Special

The filling is light yet flavorful thanks to soy sauce seasoning and a touch of egg to bind everything together. Bean sprouts and vermicelli add that familiar spring roll bite, while mushrooms and carrots keep things juicy. Once fried, the shells turn shatteringly crisp — perfect for dipping into a tangy nuoc mam dressing.

Enjoy them as a starter, a party platter favourite, or even a fun weeknight meal. Pair with an icy beer for the full experience! 🍻

Tips for Rolling & Frying Like a Pro

• Adding a splash of beer to the soaking water prevents the papers from sticking and helps keep them pliable.
• Cutting the noodles and sprouts into shorter lengths makes it much easier to wrap and roll neatly.
• A simple tapioca or cornstarch slurry ensures the rolls stay sealed during frying.
• For extra crispiness, let the wrapped rolls dry for a few minutes before frying.

Serving Suggestions 🍃🌿

These rolls shine when served the Vietnamese way — wrapped in crunchy lettuce with fresh mint. The herbs brighten every bite and balance the richness of the fried wrapper. A quick lime-fish sauce dip ties everything together with salty, sweet, and sour notes.

Whether you're making them for a casual snack or a full Asian-inspired spread, these chicken and vegetable spring rolls bring freshness, crunch, and bold flavor to the table every single time. Enjoy! 🥰
