Vietnamese Summer Rolls
For many years, we've enjoyed Vietnamese Summer Rolls in restaurants. I gave some thought to learning how to make them myself, but always imagined that working with the rice flour wrappers would require more skill than I was likely to develop. Then a few weeks ago, I read a post by Nupur at One Hot Stove, and she made it sound really easy. So last night I decided to try.
I made them pretty much as Nupur did, but I didn't have any cilantro/coriander on hand, so I left it out. They turned out well, I thought, for a first effort. I'm going to tweak it a bit next time. I'll probably make a hoisin-based sauce for dipping, and not bother with preseasoning the tofu before frying.
So it was a real coincidence that I opened up the newspaper this morning and found that Mark Bittman's column was about...(are you ready?)...Vietnamese Summer Rolls. Even better, there's a video demo online. (When did they start doing that? How did I miss it?)
