Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls — chả giò
Cuisine: Vietnamese · Origin: Vietnam
Chả giò, or Vietnamese fried spring rolls, are crispy cylindrical appetizers made by wrapping seasoned ground pork, crab, mushrooms, and glass noodles in thin rice paper, then deep-frying until golden. Originating in Northern Vietnam, particularly Hanoi, these rolls represent a cornerstone of Vietnamese cuisine and street food culture. The filling typically combines minced pork with wood ear mushrooms, glass noodles, and aromatic seasonings, while the rice paper wrapper becomes delightfully crunchy when fried. Traditionally served with dipping sauces—most commonly Vietnamese fish sauce (nước chấm) or sweet and sour sauce—chả giò are enjoyed as appetizers, snacks, or components of larger meals. The dish reflects Vietnamese culinary ingenuity, blending Chinese cooking techniques with local Vietnamese ingredients and flavors. These rolls are beloved for their textural contrast between the crispy exterior and savory, tender filling, making them a beloved comfort food and popular menu item in Vietnamese restaurants globally.
Standard serving: ~150 kcal (4 rolls (160g), estimate)

春捲在法國殖民統治期間成為越南的標誌性食物，當時越南廚師改良中式春捲，使用豬肉和魚露等在地食材，創造出獨特的越南版本，如今幾乎每家越南餐廳都有供應。
