  7. Hmm that's delicious. Here we call Fried Spring Rolls (Fried Lumpia). You can buy the wrapper ready to use.
    Got again a new recipe.

  8. Rice papers are not difficult to find in Brussels, but they are too hard and dry that make the rolling rather difficult...

    Yummy!!!

  14. Thanks for sharing the recipe! I love Spring Rolls esp. these ones and everytime I got to a Vietnamese Restaurant that is a dish we ALWAYS order. I will try this recipe over the weekend! Thanks for sharing.

    In Vancouver, we have a restaurant called Wild Rice too! But the concept is different and I think the one in Vancouver is Chinese Fusion. I have never been but the one you posted looks very nice and if I ever get a chance, I will def. have to go!

  19. These look great. I'd like to try and make them sometime.

    I'm going to keep checking back with you for the recipes. Can you post a recipe for a soup called "phoa"? My husband loves it. Not sure about that spelling, it's pronounced "fwah".

  21. Thanks for the recipe, I have tried similar recipes before, and I have two problems:

    The rice paper never gets as crispy as in the restaurants, and even if it gets crispy when taking it up from the oil they get soft before served (of course I let them drip off). What is the secret?

    When putting the rolls into the hot oil they sometimes fold open and the contents gets out in the oil.

  22. hello- we tried making these but the ricepaper kept exploding? We then tried to double wrap them but they absorbed too much oil. what would you recommend?

  30. I have problems in getting the rolls' rice paper crisp and nice as I get in the restaurants. How much do you soak it, what do you use as glue and how do you keep it crisp and tasty for minutes after frying? Thanks for tips on this....
