Introduction
Goi cuon are a classic of southern Vietnam, wrapping vermicelli, tofu and plenty of herbs in translucent rice paper. Never fried, they are cool, springy and refreshing.
Wellness Benefits
- Raw vegetables and herbs clear heat and promote fluids, cutting richness and whetting the appetite in hot summer weather.
- Mint is cooling and dispels wind while cilantro moves qi and rouses the appetite; the neutral tofu and rice noodles stay gentle on the stomach.
Nutrition Highlights
- Rice paper is low in fat and calories, ideal for a light meal.

Tips
- Dip the rice paper only briefly; it keeps softening after you lift it out, making rolling easier.
