    To the people mentioning frying these: Do you fry using just one wrapper per roll, or do you have to double-up on the rice paper? I'm asking for a friend.

    • @TheTinybell
      @TheTinybell Před 8 lety +4

      yes you can, or just fold it into half (after soaking it in the water) then put the ingredients on the side and roll. if you do 1 only, it may break when you fry. (sorry for my funny English)

      +Lisa Tran that was how my mom did in Vn, she used the rice paper too. I think there are some video on youtube showing you how to do it (they called crispy spring roll :D) I think it is Northern style though. Anyway, the ingredients inside are completely different than the fresh spring roll, I don't think fried lettuce and cucumber taste good at all. :D

    I'm Asian, so I can give a few tips to better your technique! Pretty good I have to say!
    1. Use hot water to soak the rice paper
    Dip the rice paper really quickly in almost boiling water and then lay the rice paper flat on a plate.
    2. I love the three ladies brand! It soaks nicely and has a good texture. It can be found in Asian markets
    Other than that, good interpretation of a "spring roll"!!!'

    I usually dip rice paper in a bowl of warm water so the entire surface gets wet and pull it out after 3 seconds or so. Then id shake off the excess water on the rice paper, lay it on a plate, add the filling, wrap it up, and eat it right away. It's a nice social food with everyone making their own wraps if you just have a table with the rice paper, a warm water bowl, veggies, and a tabletop grill going for the meat.Oh yeah and the rice vermicelli or "angel hair" really do make a spring roll more "filling."

  • @ThanhHangDinh
    @ThanhHangDinh Před 8 lety +13

    Hi Chef John, i love all of your videos, big fan here. But as a Vietnamese i twitched for every second you kept the rice paper in the water. Normally we dunk it for just 1 sec in room temp water for the 'softening' to happen, and it will be on perfect level of 'pliability' by the time you start rolling. Maybe we have different techniques :) Anyway i love the damp towel and tissue idea. Another great video Chef !

    I don't get why people are so anal about the authenticity of a traditional dish. IF you live in that mindset and always try to replicate the original, cuisine just get really boring as no new creations are being made. I actually enjoy dishes where the chef gets innovative with the ingredients and adding something new to an already awesome dish. Keep doing what you are doing chef John :D

      Ethan...(three dots denote a sigh)
      There are two types of western mystics (both are correct and both
      serve a needed and indispensable purpose.) The conservative mystic
      looks into the mists of the past, sees the work that produced the
      elements of contemporary beauty and knows these details, in their
      best form, must be preserved. These elements represent our more
      thoughtful moments, indeed, our civilization's gains. Almost
      antithetically, the radical, who, when in his best form, is original
      and creative, raising classic arts and sciences to new highs, new
      beauties. For a civilization to remain stable but healthy, we very
      much need both of these types. It is not as you would want, for
      without one or the other, an otherwise vibrant society would be in
      it's death throws.

    One of our family favorites! I do a Thai version with peanut sauce & thai sweet chili sauce. An easy way to maintain control of the rice paper when dipping in warm water is to dip it vertically, half way into the water. then turn it like a wheel. My kids actually do theirs this way. Works every time! :)

    A few tips from a vietnamese background:
    Hot water works better, and only dip once then let rest on dry plate with edge hanging over.
    Pickled dikon & carrots has a great flavor that makes this more refreshing.
    To give it some crunchy texture, you can add crushed roasted peanuts unsalted no skin.
    Hoisin sauce with scriracha makes a great dip.
    Just a few tips to make it closer to the original, the flavors and textures are super delicious! As always, enjoy!

    Chef John, I love how you are always experimenting with different cuisine! This is a unique way to make spring rolls your own because it is meant to be so versatile. I usually put baked salmon, vermicelli, lettuce and herbs in mine and dip it into dipping fish sauce. The method you use to soften the rice paper works but the most common and much quicker way is to submerging it quickly with hot water. As long as you take it out as soon as you put it in, it'll go soft in a matter of seconds. But both methods work!
    Never stop trying and teaching us new cuisines in your video! I'm going to try and use your peanut sauce next time with my spring rolls!

    As a person with vietnamese background I highly approve of your technique and having it with peanut sauce. Gotta be peanut sauce. I'm sure my mother would approve too, even with the untraditional filling. Though my pointers would be use hot water and work fast, cut the cucumber into long strips so they don't fall everywhere and dont bother cutting just eat. I'd like to see if you could wrap it all in one big go first time around.

      @jiranma Před 8 lety

      Mc Kenna Cold water is fine and only dip it enough to wet it and shake off excess water. Quickly put it the surface u want to work on before it softens at all and start building. It will soften within seconds and be totally pliable and very easy to handle. If you want to use warmer water, it is still just a split second of dipping. Try it, it is a fun roll to eat. Very addicting!

      @minseokkim7308 Před 8 lety +3

      Mc Kenna The hot water method works pretty great, but it's harder to work with and only good if you're building it and eating it right away. Whenever I've had it, it was done with hot water. It doesn't dissolve..it just gets incredibly soft and sticky. If you leave it for too long, it just gets incredibly harder to deal with. I would probably go with the cold water method if you plan on making them presentable or want to premake them for whoever.

    these rolls can be thinly coated in sesame oil to avoid drying while waiting to be served
    also - some black sesame seeds on the inside look great through the rice paper,
    and may help differentiate types of filling for the diners.

And you'd think a bunch of out of shape nerds wouldn't go for something like this... but they all were blown away. Best part... you get so many of those skins in each package, we all had 4 or 5 of them, and we still had about 5 or 6 left over in the pack. We're gonna do the same thing next week. Seriously though... these rice paper skins.... what an easy and low calorie bread or tortilla alternative! They definitely are going to be a staple in my house from now on.

    A lot of the complaints in the comments are from Vietnamese-American kids who know little about Vietnamese culture or cuisine but think they can speak for it. In Vietnam, there are a million varieties of fresh spring rolls (and sauces that go with it), not just the standard pork and shrimp version. Other popular stuffing varieties include steamed fish, thinly sliced beef poached in a vinegar-lemongrass broth, Grilled pork sausage (nem nuong), squid, pork skin, tofu, bo la lot (grilled beef sausages wrapped in lot leaves), brined pork or beef (thit heo/bo ngam nuoc mam), bo bia (adaptation of popiah with chinese sausage, daikon/carrot, fried eggs), and southerners have even been known to wrap up thit kho (caramelized braised pork) with pickled bean sprouts in rice paper, and any number of vegetarian or vegan options. And every day the local cuisine in Vietnam evolves and changes. In short, Vietnamese people wrap almost everything under the sun in rice paper. So to the whiners, if you're going to be a self-righteous know it all, then at least have your information right.

      I'm a born New Zealander and work in a lab with a team of native Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Fillipino, Indian and more nationalities. We share and swap lunches daily. Never once has anyone been offended at other people's attempts and recreations of other people's food. No one, even from the same cultures and regions has the same recipes of the same dish. Food is food, and sharing and reinventing has been part of culture since mankind started caring about food tasting good.

    In future, save yourself 30 sec making each roll by using room temp/warm water instead of cold. Instead of going 1:47-2:20, you only dip fully once (1-3 sec) and continue. By the time you're going to roll, it's the same consistency. Waste of time using cold water.

    • @doodahgurlie
      @doodahgurlie Před 8 lety +3

      +Apocalyps Yep. I don't understand all the people telling him to use hot or warm water. Room temperature water works fine. Hot water actually makes it very sticky. Use room temp water and dip it for few seconds. While you are putting in your filling, the rice paper will soften up.

    Chef John has such a way of making seemingly complicated recipes so simple. I have to admit that I am guilty of replicating a few of his recipes over the years ( Lasagna, Shepherd's pie...shall I go on?!)...So I did this one with shrimp and some other veggies and I gotta tell ya it was easy and delicious. Now I can make these at home without having to go to an Asian restaurant every time I feel like having few of these!

    Why are people always trying to "Americanize" asian food? What's wrong with the original?

    • @foodwishes
      @foodwishes  Před 8 lety +338

      ***** Did you ever consider we're not trying to Americanize anything? But simply making something delicious using an Asian ingredient like rice paper? Think of what you are saying... that someone can only use rice paper if they make "authentic" spring rolls, otherwise it's somehow less worthy. Sort of ignorant, IMO.

      If you don't agree with Anna that is fine and many good points were made in the reply comments, however there are ways to respond intelligently and respectfully while still communicating your message. Also, I think she has a right to an opinion on the matter as do you all. It is the mark of intelligence to be able to understand an opposing opinion and , respectfully, disagree. Also, the debate is on Asian foods and Asian culture - why is the first reaction to reject the opinion of someone who is of Asian descent?

    • @myquicklist1
      @myquicklist1 Před 8 lety +6

      +TheXxjackchopxX I totally agree with you on this, everyone is titled to their opinion and should not be called ignorant based on their opinion. I have been long time fan of Chef John and totally respect his talent in making good food, however it is comments like this that get to me and I start losing respect for the channel.
      +Food Wishes take that and put some Cayenne on it.

  • @Lananhnyx3
    @Lananhnyx3 Před 8 lety +1

    My family have made many different versions of spring rolls, yes.. they're called SPRING ROLLS as long as their wrapped in rice paper. Anyways, I recommend trying it with grilled mackerel (seasoned with just salt), lettuce and rice noodles. Dipping sauce : Sweet fish sauce (fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, water) with sambal. So good!

    In Australia we call these Vietnamese rice paper rolls.
    The deep fried ones are 'spring rolls' and eaten with fresh herbs and wrapped in a fresh lettuce leaf... then the clear dipping sauce which has fish sauce... omg... so good... the freshness of the herbs and lettuce leaf elevates that fried spring roll to another level. THE BEST LEVEL.
