It’s the knife in the gif in this post and it’s my absolute favourite! I just know if you win you’ll love it too! Giveaway: It’s my birthday today(!) and to celebrate I’ve partnered up with Shun to giveaway a Classic Nakiri Knife and a copy of my book, Easy Gourmet. Fold the bottom half of the wrapper up over the filling, hold the fold in place, fold in the sides and roll. Add fillings as desired: spinach, cucumber strips, crispy pork. Place the wrapper on a plate or cutting board – it’ll continue to soften as your assembling your roll. Take a rice paper wrapper and completely submerge it in a bowl of hot tap water for 10-15 seconds.

Fry the chops until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once, about 2 minutes per side. Heat up half an inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Dip the chops into the beaten egg and then into the panko, making sure that all sides are coated. Lightly season the pork chop strips with salt and pepper and sprinkle with flour.

I’ve always known them as salad rolls so that’s what I’m going with. Vietnamese gỏi cuốn are one of those funny foods that go by all sorts of names in English. I’ve seen them called Summer rolls, fresh Spring rolls, and salad rolls.
