I love spring rolls and Vietnamese ones are the best. "Spring rolls" can mean one of two types:

The fried rolls served hot are sometimes called "Imperial rolls" (Cha gio), shown above. The rolls are good, but the fish sauce that is usually served with them is nasty.

The ones served cold, not fried, are sometimes called "Salad rolls" (Goi Cuon), shown above. Sometimes Americans call them "gun gun" because they can't pronounce them properly.

The best part of the cold rolls is the hoisin sauce served with them. Often there are chopped peanuts added to the hoisin sauce. So good!

I have tried to make the cold spring rolls (salad rolls) but I found it very difficult. You buy a package of the rice paper wrappers, and you have to take one wrapper, lay it in a dish of water to soften it, then place it on another plate and add the filling ingredients, then roll it up sort of like a burrito. It takes a lot of practice to be able to make them properly.

There's an unfried version of spring rolls, the so-called Vietnamese spring rolls (even though there are many variations besides the original Vietnamese one). You use a self-made already cooked wrapping (like making a very thin crepe). Then you cook the meat for the filling separately and prepare the vegetables. Afterward you wrap the vegetables and the meat inside the wrapping and eat them straight. It's less greasy and it's fresher

I like to make fresh spring rolls (cold). Sometimes I just fill them with bean threads, sprouts, lime, cilantro and whatever else I have on hand. They're good with bulgogi, too.

Organic Chickens are not kept in cages like battery hens ,they run around free eat proper fresh food have proper fresh drinking water and live a lot better
lifestyle , which is why they are just a bit more expensive than caged chickens .

Great post until I got to that. Fish sauce indeed smells nasty the first time you encounter, and I suppose it would taste nasty if you drank it straight out of the bottle. But it's absolutely essential for Southeast Asian cooking, and I've grown to love it, nasty smell and all...
