Condiment for Vietnamese Spring Roll

Vietnamese Spring RollVietnamese spring roll is easy to prepare. I would recommend to serve this dish during gathering, spending weekend among close friends, chit chat, well...making spring roll together, the more people the merrier it will be!

stuff for fillingBasically, you need rice paper. Soak the rice paper in hot (not warm) water for couple second then you’re ready to wrap your own spring roll. You can combine your filling with anything you like: Sliced cabbage, carrot, fresh mushroom, alfalfa, meat, banana, avocado, coriander leaves, mint leaves, or boiled glass noodle.

Prepare in a bowl:
- a small can of pineapple, sliced into small pieces, use also the juice
- 5 bulbs garlic, chopped coarse
- 3 bird’s eye chilies, sliced thin (dump the seeds)
- 2 small tomatoes, sliced into pineapple size
- freshly squeezed lemon juice
- fish sauce / squid sauce (don’t put too much, you have to taste whether or not it is salty enough)
- a little bit sugar (optional) for sweetener, if not sweet enough

fresh sweet and sour spicy condiment
