Vegetarian Summer Rolls

Vegetarian Summer Rolls


With fresh and diverse ingredients such as rice vermicelli, tofu, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, pineapple, along with herbs like mint, coriander, basil, and chives carefully selected to ensure freshness, they bring out the full flavor of the dish.

Each ingredient undergoes a meticulous preparation. Shiitake mushrooms are thinly sliced and sautéed with a touch of spice. Tofu is pan-fried to a golden crisp, then shredded and stir-fried with julienned carrots for added depth of flavor. Bell peppers are sliced into bite-sized pieces, ready to be assembled. The prepared ingredients are meticulously combined, then spread evenly on moistened rice paper wrappers. A bed of vermicelli is added, and the whole thing is rolled into a tight cylinder, finished with a garnish of vibrant bell peppers and fresh chives. The accompanying dipping sauce is a symphony of flavors.

 



Sweet pineapple, fiery chilies, and ground peanuts are blended together, seasoned with vegetarian fish sauce, salt, and pepper. The result is a rich, fragrant, and utterly delicious complement to the summer rolls.


Vegetarian summer rolls are a feast for the eyes. Their vibrant colors create a stunning symphony: verdant greens from the vegetables, pops of red from the chilies, the snowy white of vermicelli, and earthy brown mushrooms. Each bite is an explosion of flavor and texture. The refreshing sweetness of the vegetables mingles with the satisfying chew of the vermicelli, and the rich creaminess of the sauce is punctuated by the subtle heat of the chili, resulting in a delightful harmony.
