Product information

Ingredients

Translucent rice paper wrappers (bánh tráng), crisped firm tofu strips, chilled rice vermicelli noodles (bún), fresh green coral lettuce, julienned carrots, fresh mint leaves, aromatic local Vietnamese herbs. Served with a side of rich hoisin-peanut dipping sauce or traditional vegan light dipping sauce.

Food history

Fresh rice paper rolls (gỏi cuốn chay) are a beloved fixture of Vietnamese cuisine, celebrated for their clean, crisp flavors and light textures. This plant-based variation features golden pan-seared tofu strips as its protein foundation. Tied closely to Buddhist vegetarian cooking traditions, it provides a highly refreshing, low-fat appetizer that harmonizes chewy rice paper, soft noodles, and cooling garden-fresh herbs.

Allergens

Contains soy and gluten (tofu, hoisin dipping sauce base). Peanut dipping sauce option contains peanuts. Can be customized entirely vegan by pairing with the peanut or soy-based dipping sauce instead of traditional fish sauce.

Storage

Best enjoyed immediately while the rice paper wrappers are soft, pliable, and moist. If not consuming right away, wrap carefully in a slightly damp paper towel followed by plastic wrap to prevent the wrapper from drying out; consume within a few hours.

Preparation

Keep the rolls at a cool room temperature until table service. Avoid extended refrigeration, as the cold environment causes the rice noodles to stiffen and the delicate rice paper wrapper to turn tough.

Cooking

This is a fresh assembly dish. No reheating or secondary cooking is required for the assembled rolls prior to serving.

Serving

Serve fresh at room temperature on a wooden board or small plate. Accompany with a small bowl of savory peanut dipping sauce or zesty vegan dipping sauce, dipping generously right before each bite.
