Best 5 Spring Rolls With Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce Recipes
Spring rolls, also known as summer rolls or Vietnamese rice paper rolls, are a refreshing and savory appetizer or light meal. They are made with fresh vegetables, herbs, and rice noodles, wrapped in a thin sheet of rice paper. The rolls are then served with a dipping sauce, typically nuoc cham, a fish sauce-based sauce that adds a salty, sweet, and sour flavor. With endless variations of fillings and dipping sauces, you can customize your spring rolls to suit your taste preferences. This article will provide you with a guide to help you create the perfect spring rolls with nuoc cham dipping sauce.

NUOC CHAM (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE)
My personal take on a traditional dipping sauce. A little bit sweet, but mostly savory with a nice bit of heat. I make this a minimum of 24 hours before I use it to let the flavors mingle. Leftover sauce can be kept for three to four weeks in a sealed container in the refrigerator. If this isn't to your taste as written, experiment! Everyone's tastes are different! Some like their nuoc cham really sweet and mild, some like it tangy with heat. Mine tends to be more towards the tangy heat side. So, before you add the garlic, onion, and vinegar, sample it and adjust the ingredient amounts to suit your liking. Keep in mind that this recipe is LOUD when you first make it. The flavors mingle and mature a bit after the first 24 hours. I hope you enjoy!

Transfer rice vermicelli noodles to the pot of boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove and drain in a colander. Immediately rinse the vermicelli with cold water, stirring to separate the noodles.
- To assemble the rolls, dip 1 rice wrapper in a large bowl of room temperature water for a few seconds to soften. Place wrapper on a work surface and top with 4 shrimp halves, 1/4 of the chopped lettuce, 1/2 ounce vermicelli, and 1/4 each of the mint, cilantro, and Thai basil.

SHRIMP SUMMER ROLLS WITH NUOC CHAM
Traditional nuoc cham, a Vietnamese dipping sauce, is much sweeter than the version here, which amps up the lime juice for a tangy twist. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add an extra tablespoon of sugar.

Steps:
- Prepare the rice vermicelli according to the package directions. Drain well and set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water. Boil the shrimp until bright pink, opaque and just cooked, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice bath. Once cool, slice each shrimp in half lengthwise, pat dry and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Make the nuoc cham by whisking together the lime juice, 1/4 cup water, sugar, fish sauce, garlic and chile in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- To assemble the summer rolls, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a large skillet with cold water.
- Working one a time, soak a rice paper wrapper in the skillet until just pliable, 5 to 7 seconds. Transfer the wrapper to a clean cutting board. Line up 3 shrimp halves, pink-side down, in the bottom third of the wrapper. Layer with some scallions, carrots, cucumbers, mint, cilantro and basil. Top with a scant 1/4 cup vermicelli and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon of the peanuts. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it up like a burrito. Place it on the prepared baking sheet seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients, making sure the rolls are not touching on the baking sheet.
- Cover the finished summer rolls with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store any remaining vermicelli in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Serve the summer rolls with the nuoc cham on the side for dipping.
NUOC CHAM (SPRING ROLL SAUCE)
A delicious dipping sauce for spring rolls! I like to put it on pork chops or shrimp too, served over rice. Please Note: The sauce will be very thin. I recommend serving it in individual dishes for each person to dip their spring roll in.

SPRING ROLLS WITH NUOC CHAM DIPPING SAUCE
This is a Nigel Slater recipe from The Observer Food Monthly magazine. I haven't made it myself yet, but posted it here for future use and safekeeping, as I thought it sounded great. The sauce is a vegetarian version of the Vietnamese classic. You can also add a little extra crunch by adding some shredded carrot. If you make it let me know what you think please! cooking time includes infusion time for the sauce. (The coriander in the recipe refers to cilantro.)
