Pho Rolls (Phở cuốn)

(Pho Rolls, Rolled Pho)

Phở cuốn is a Vietnamese dish that translates to rolled pho. In order to prepare it, sheets of uncut pho noodles are used as a type of wrapping paper that's filled with stir-fried beef, garlic, ginger, pepper, onions, lettuce, and herbs such as mint, perilla, and cilantro.


Once assembled, these rolls are served with a dip on the side, usually a combination of fish sauce, sugar, garlic, chili, and vinegar. Phở cuốn can be served as a snack or an appetizer, and it's especially popular in the summer. It is believed that the dish was invented when a street vendor from Hanoi ran out of broth for his pho, but there were still some uncut noodles left in his kitchen, and phở cuốnn was born.
