Món cuốn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Món cuốn is a style of Vietnamese cooking comprising diversified ingredients wrapped and rolled in rice paper (bánh tráng), vegetable and herb leaves, or others. People can find a sufficient amount of tastes in this healthy kind of dish which is served with a lot of vegetables (named rau ăn kèm or rau sống). However, the key of this dish is the dipping sauce called nước chấm.

Món cuốn is a finger food that all the ingredients are only preliminary cooked and people must roll their own ones when enjoying them. It is also a real variety of fast food because of its fast-cooking process but invented from the old days.

Món cuốn represents the richness of the tropical country that Vietnamese people are open-minded to bring almost them into the dish, even edible wild leaves. Seeing people having món cuốn, others can recognize their skillfulness, especially women (sayings: "Learn to eat, learn to speak, learn to wrap, learn to open").
