Vietnamese Summer Rolls, known in Vietnam as Gỏi Cuốn, are soft rice paper spring rolls filled with shrimp, vermicelli noodles, and fresh herbs. Unlike fried Vietnamese spring rolls, these fresh spring rolls are not cooked after rolling, making them light, refreshing, and ideal for warm-weather meals.
