Vietnamese Fresh Summer Rolls Catering
If you're ever in Vietnam, you'll undoubtedly come across the Gỏi Cuốn, more commonly known as the summer roll or spring roll. Legend has it that during a series of famous battles, King Nguyễn Huệ Quang Trung ordered his men to carry each other on hammocks so that one could rest while the others kept moving. Because they were constantly on the go, they needed "mobile" meals that they could eat quickly and without hassle. Thus, the summer roll was born! These days, you'll find the most basic summer roll in most restaurants: boiled shrimp and pork with basil and mint, cucumbers, cilantro, and rice noodles. But the popular Vietnamese snack can be customized for many different palates, ensuring that your whole team will get a meal they’ll love!

Best Practices and Tips when Ordering Vietnamese Fresh Summer Rolls
Summer rolls are typically considered a snack or appetizer so if you are ordering them as lunch for your team, you'll want to make sure that you have enough for each person to have three. The ingredients can vary depending on the restaurant but most will have a choice of protein (shrimp and pork are the most popular) with a mix of vegetables and noodles. Lettuce, rice noodles, cucumber, cilantro and carrots are traditionally found in summer rolls.
Are Summer Rolls Gluten-Free?
For the most part, yes! The rice flour paper that summer rolls are wrapped in is gluten-free! And many restaurants fill their rolls with rice noodles which are also gluten-free! What may not be gluten-free is if the protein is marinated in soy sauce. Look out for the (GF) indicator next to your selection to find out if what you are ordering is gluten-free.
What is the difference between summer rolls, spring rolls and fresh rolls?
There is none! Those are just different names for the same item but each restaurant might slightly augment the filling of their specific offering. Note that sometimes the fried egg rolls / spring rolls you get from restaurants are completely different from what we're referring to here.
