In kindergarten, there was a little Vietnamese girl whose mom used to occasionally send to school with her spring rolls for the class to enjoy. Ho think her name was Hoan or Hoang. She was such a nice girl, and the whole class would be so excited when her mom brought spring rolls. They were amazing. I often wonder where she is now and what she’s doing, and I’ve been craving Vietnamese spring rolls for all the years since. At the time, my friend barely new any English and was extremely shy. I feel like she left after grade one, and I wonder if she stayed in Canada or returned to Vietnam.
@@dungnguyen-vx2sc are you saying one culture cannot cook another cultures food? Perhaps the young girls mother also made linguine and haddock! Or is that not possible.
@@dungnguyen-vx2sc it's vietnamese chả giò. Other cultures have it too. Also...are you Vietnamese? if you're not Vietnamese then please don't use a Vietnamese name to comment like that, it's not nice
@@dungnguyen-vx2sc this is a Vietnamese woman cooking egg rolls (see video title) so that makes them Vietnamese Egg Rolls. If she was making spaghetti and wanted to call it her Vietnamese Spaghetti who am I to argue? I mean really, haven’t you got bigger fish to fry (preferably Vietnamese style)? The End😘
I was so surprised when I saw your technique of cutting up the filling into correct sized pieces, such a good idea. I love Vietnamese egg rolls so much, of all the cultures that make them, the Vietnamese ones are by far the best.
+JGAZM I am sure Van will respond to this too, but in my experience there's not really anything like jicama in that you can use as a replacement in something cooked like this. It's crunchy, very slightly sweet, and something like a cross between an apple and a potato (but not really like a potato). I think personally it would be totally reasonable to leave it out and increase the amounts of the rest of the ingredients to make up the difference, i.e. add an additional 1/4 cup of onion, 1/4 cup of pork, 1/4 taro, and a bit more of the mung bean thread noodles.
+JGAZM Please consider Valicore's response. I used to substitute potatoes when I could not find jicama, but this made it more starchy. Jicama is more crunchy
+JGAZM What about water chestnuts? I think they have the same type of crunch as jicama. My mother never added jicama to ours, so it's definitely optional.
Your is by far the best method for preparing, freezing and reheating that I have ever come across! I will be making these your way from now on. Vietnamese eggs rolls are the best of any cuisine in my opinion. Thank you a billion for showing us how to do it right!
So I couldn’t find the egg roll wrappers or the dried mung bean noodles 😩 so I followed everything else and used empanada wrappers instead and OMG they were amazing. Hopefully next time I’ll have everything needed but wow did I enjoy the ones I made. And instead of frying them I just put egg wash on top popped them in the oven and crispy and perfect. Thank you so much for your recipe your are AWESOME. 🥰
I love your filling for the egg roll...so much umami goodness going on in there! It's such a joy seeing your boys enjoying all of your cooking--even kids will enjoy veggies, if they're prepped well!
Tried this method. It was a lot easier than the normal way and I like the double frying method. Although next time I will put the meat in the freezer before cutting into preferred sizes. My meat was all over the place. Will definitely keep this recipe!
I love egg rolls and never thought of making them on my own but that is going to change thank you so very much for your video I will definitely end up using your video as my go to video thank you so much and both of your boys are adorable happy cooking.
I really like your preparation tips, especially to drain the excess water from the veggies and to cut the filling into equal portions. I’ve never done that. I usually just eyeball it, lol. I’m going to try your recipe soon! Thank you for sharing!
This is a great video right to the end baba & all, hello baby👐 I have watched so many videos but yours is the only one throughout the duration before & after freezer instructions yay I'm so happy I finally know the info extra bonus I got to screen shot your ingredients u had up that saved me writing it all down & I'm going to portion my mix cut back extra work wow thank-you so much worth 💯watching 👍 ☺ 🥰
My favourite chả giò recipe, hands down. I've got a *lot* of Vietnamese restaurants around me, and everyone has a slightly different take. These are better than all of them, and I'm not paying $6 for them when I order out. Make them, like yesterday.
I don't know if egg rolls from other Asian countries have taro in them or not but it's the one ingredient that makes the Vietnamese version my favorite! Egg rolls without taro just lack body, texture and taste.
Hi Van. I want to say thank you very much for your Cha Gio recipe. As you know, most Vietnamese ladys know how to make Cha Gio.... How ever, since I watched your way to make this dish, I think: WOW? REALLY? I tried it yesterday , and my family like it. I , my self , love your way of wrapping, & frying . It is AMAZING 🙄🙄. Thank you very much Van. From now on, my way to make Cha Gio gone na be just like yours. THANKS AGAIN. 🙄🙄🙄.
Such a great recipe, Van. I'm curious why you did not use fish sauce and opted for salt instead? Growing up, my mom made a similar recipe (minus the jicama and taro). I'm glad you showed use to squeeze the liquid from the veggies as I can see where that would make a soggy eggroll. LOVE LOVE LOVE the clever way you proportioned the meat mixture so the eggrolls would all be uniform in size. Curious, but do you only serve your eggrolls with lettuce? We wrap them up with other herbs and vermicelli before dipping. Have never seen that before and it is such a neat trick. Your sons are as adorable as ever.
Doodah Gurl Thank you for nice compliments. I avoid adding more liquid to the filling to prevent soggy and oil splatter when frying egg rolls. I had never wrapped with vermicelli but I love to add fresh herbs sometimes when I have:) But I do cut egg rolls into bite size and add to vermicelli bowl with other fresh herbs, lettuce, cucumber, peanut.... to make into noodle salad :) It is very yummy :)
I luv e way u cooked. Non messy n hygienic. Seen so many ppl mix in minced meat wif bare hands, e insides of finger nails! Omg.. Do we need to use new oil for e 2nd time frying? Thks!
Thank You ! so much for this recipe....They tasted just like the one's my friend, Tin Van Ta 🙏used to make at his restaurant in the glorious 80's! Truly authentic flavor!... the Taro, Jicama, etc., and pork make the perfect texture. My family will enjoy these forever.
Hi loved your video and very easy to follow instructions. Just wanted to know what dipping sauce you used at the end when you wrap the spring roll in lettuce
Your egg rolls look super delicious : ) I also like to make a bigger batch of spring rolls at a time and freeze them up for later use. I'm usually too lazy to fry them a second time, though, so I reheat them in the oven until they're crispy. That works pretty well, also! ^_^

Your method for dividing up the filling is absolutely top-notch. Thank you for the tips!
Those smiles say everything. I love the tip on making the filling into square patties and cut them in equal pieces, brilliant .

donneone ❤️
Yes I totally agree with you on all that
i love how you separate the mixed meat and veggies . makes it so much easier to portion it all the same/
So I couldn’t find the egg roll wrappers or the dried mung bean noodles 😩 so I followed everything else and used empanada wrappers instead and OMG they were amazing.

Adapt and overcome.
The proportions on the filling is a game changer. Thank you so much
That is a very clever way to make all the egg rolls into equal size shape

Agreed!
Ah. It takes 4 years to get a heart comment from Van😀
I love that grater!
That was an awesome tip to flatten out the filling and separate into segments.
Excellent instruction, thank you!

dreaminbunny Thank you :) hehe.... since I don't have $$ to get a pedicure ;)
prefrying spring rolls is such a genius idea.
Thank You ! so much for this recipe....They tasted just like the one's my friend, Tin Van Ta 🙏used to make at his restaurant in the glorious 80's!
Truly authentic flavor!... the Taro, Jicama, etc., and pork make the perfect texture.
My family will enjoy these forever.
Your recipe seems so good! (Such a cute kid!)
Looks so good! On another note, I prefer these older videos when you talk, not the ones with music. You have such a cute voice!
How long can you freeze the eggrolls for in the freezer?
Have you tried baking the rolls instead of deep frying? Just want to know how a baked roll taste? Thought baking is easier.
Hi loved your video and very easy to follow instructions. Just wanted to know what dipping sauce you used at the end when you wrap the spring roll in lettuce
Its fish sauce also called nuoc mam. Just search youtube for a recipe.
Công thuc quá ngon.!
Your egg rolls look super delicious : ) I also like to make a bigger batch of spring rolls at a time and freeze them up for later use. I'm usually too lazy to fry them a second time, though, so I reheat them in the oven until they're crispy. That works pretty well, also! ^_^
KenLeGourmand Yeah, I do that, too! but somehow the result is still not as appealing to me as frying :)
After freezing, use air fryer much crunchier.. 🥰
Thanks for the idea...excellent ♡
The best!
Children with Nems so Cute 😍😍💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Cute babies!
