Vietnamese Cuisine: Bánh tráng cuốn thịt heo, the recipe.
Pork rice paper rolls are one of Quang Nam’s famous delicacies. If you haven’t had the opportunity to visit Da Nang to try this specialty, you can easily learn how to make them at home. The photos below were taken last year when my husband and I went to Quy Nhon and enjoyed pork rice paper rolls, as well as grilled ones, at a restaurant specializing in Quang Nam food, “Quang Noodles.”
If you have the opportunity and fortune to travel to Vietnam, I highly recommend trying this delicious dish!

Ingredients

* 1 pack of rice paper (maybe hard to find in Italy, but you can find it);
* 400g pork belly;
* 1 bottle of pure seasoning sauce;
* 500g pho noodles;
* 1 pineapple, 1 cucumber, 1 green banana, green mango, ginger, and onion;
* 1 lemon, a few cloves of garlic, a few chili peppers;
* Raw vegetables: herbs, lettuce, perilla, mint;
* Spices (salt, sugar, seasonings, etc.).

Preparation

Step 1: Wash and prepare the vegetables. For root vegetables and fruit (cucumber, mango, green banana), cut them into long sticks that can be easily rolled in rice paper.
Step 2: Wash the pork. Place the meat in the pot, add a little salt, a few slices of ginger, and 2 onions. Simmer over low heat until the meat is tender. Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the oven, let it cool, and then slice it.
Step 3: Pour the prepared seasoning sauce into a bowl. Add the garlic, chili pepper, 1/4 pineapple (all chopped) in a 1:1:1 ratio, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons sugar. Mix well and season to taste.
Step 3: Blanch the noodles in water.

Place the pho noodles, meat, vegetables, and rice paper on separate plates.

How to prepare the rolls:
* Step 1: Take a sheet of rice paper and place it on the plate with the noodles. The rice paper will soften and become pliable as it rests on the pho noodles.
* Step 2: Add the vegetables one at a time.
* Step 3: Take 2 or 3 slices of meat and place them on top of the vegetables.
* Step 4: Gently roll up the rice paper, then dip it in the fish sauce and enjoy.

The rolls, once rolled, can also be grilled for even more flavor.
