Today, diverse street food has become an important part of Vietnamese culinary culture in general, and Hanoi in particular. Among the delicious dishes in the capital, "fried spring rolls" is a special dish that attracts the attention of diners. However, one thing that makes many people curious and wondering is:
Why doesn't "fried spring rolls" have a sour flavor like its name suggests?
Fried spring rolls are a famous specialty of Tam Thuong alley, Hanoi. Although the name of this dish makes us imagine that it must have a sour taste like traditional spring rolls, the reality is completely different.
Fried Nem chua is not fermented to create a sour flavor; instead, it is prepared by wrapping it in plastic wrap and refrigeration. Thanks to this processing process, fried spring rolls are not sour, but have their own unique delicious taste. An important point to note is that this Nem can only be eaten after being processed, not raw. Nem is breaded, or left "bare" and deep fried in fat. Because it is not sour, many Hanoi people also call this dish "sweet spring rolls", to distinguish it from traditional sour spring rolls.
Although fried spring rolls do not have a sour taste, this is still an interesting and unique dish of Hanoi. With the unique flavor of the perfect combination of pork, spices, and crispy crust, fried spring rolls have conquered many diners and are a dish worth trying when you visit the capital.
