Video: Vietnamese Summer Rolls | Uyen Luu Hi Food

Tubers, I'm Uyen Luu a Vietnamese chef and food writer. This is my first time on Food Tube today I'm
so excited to show you how to make the classic Saigon summer rolls, we're going to fill these summer
rolls with king (1) __prawns___ and pork belly and loads of (2)________herbs___ and noodles and
then in the end finish off with a lovely sweet and sour (3)_________dipping___ sauce. Summer rolls
are called Gỏi cuốn in Vietnamese which means a rolled salad and for us in Vietnam we eat it at
lunch time like we would here, we would eat a sandwich. The first thing I'm going to do is
(4)________poach____ some pork belly in some boiling water, (5)________season___ it with a
generous pinch of salt, cover it and cook it for 15 minutes. So after 15 minutes your pork should be
cooked and then you can just let it (6)___rest_____ for a while and let it cool down. Make sure the
juices run clear. It's much easier to (7)____slice____ when its cool and then you can get it really
really thinly with a sharp knife, so I know it looks a lot but is gonna carry across six to eight roles
depending on how much you put in. So now the pork's done, I'm gonna make some noodles, I've got
some rice (8)_____vermicelli_____ here and I'm just going to (9)__pour______ a kettle of boiling
water over the noodles, make sure that it’s all submerged in water. Cover it with a (10)___plate____,
make sure it gets covered for about five minutes. So while we're waiting for the noodles to cook, I
want to show you the herbs that we're going to be using. We have (11) ______garden mint________
and coriander, so we want to just take the mint off the (12)____storks________, so this is perilla
which is a classic Vietnamese herbs which you can get in Asian stores. If you can't get perilla, you
can just use mint and (13)____coriander_______. So my salad's ready to go now so I'm just gonna
check the noodles. It's got the same lovely (14)___texture______ as like cooked pasta,
(15)____dry_____ the noodles, (16)____rinse______ them under running water. So now I'm ready to
start rolling the summer rolls. I need a tray of water so it can just be (17)____regular tap_______
water. We need some rice paper, this is rice paper here and its basically rice that's
(18)____flattened______ out and dried in the sun, so we just get a (19)___sheet_____ and we're just
gonna dip it in some water. Just make sure you dip it, don't leave it sitting in there. Place it onto your
(20)____chopping board______ or your plates so I'm going to use some (21)_____prawns_____ first,
place that along there and then I'm going to place some (22)____pork belly_______ in, just 2 or 3
(23)_slices_______ and now I want to put some (24)___lettuce_____ in but I always remove the
chunky spiny bit and then I can add in my herbs and just tearing that coarsely along and making a
layer and then there's some coriander, can add a layer of noodles, (25)___slice_____ that on top, a
little bit of (26)__garlic____ chives. Okay so once you've got everything on we're gonna start
(27)______folding___ so. I take the sides in really slowly just using two hands to make a line down
there and then I'm going to fold the other side and so like making an envelope I'm going to use the
(28)____bottom flap__________ and I'm going to fold that over and once you fold it over you can
then start to (29)__tuck in____ in everything that's coming loose and the paper is really, really
(30)____durable____ so you can just push everything down and tuck everything in and just take your
time with it and using all of your fingers like so and there you have a summer roll. So on to the
(31)__dipping sauce_________, pan on heat, put a little bit of oil into the pan I'm going to
(32)_chop_____ some chillis finely with some garlic and I always use birds eye chillis because they're
really hot. (33)__fry____ off my garlic and chilli just for (34)__milder_______ and not too intense
(35)__flavour_______. Couple of tablespoons of hoisin sauce, mix that up, put in a
(36)_pinch_______ of sugar so that's your sweetness and just for the (37)___sour______, going to
add in some cider vinegar about a (38)____tablespoon_______, mix that around so that's done, I'm
just going to put some of the hoisin into the bowl and then just a sprinkling of salted roasted
(39)__crushed_______ peanuts on top. Now all that's left to do is to (40)__taste______ it. Dip in to
your sauce, it's not the most elegant thing to eat. So there's like the beautiful flavours of those
(41)___??? => succulent________ prawns and the pork belly and then you've got the hint of the chilli
in there, the fresh chilli that's just going (42)__wildfire__________ in my mouth. This is just what
Vietnamese food is about so these are my Saigon summer rolls. Youtube video source:
