About Cha gio

Cha Gio, or Vietnamese spring rolls, are a popular dish originating from Vietnam. Typically served as an appetizer, they are made by wrapping a flavorful mixture of ground or minced pork, shrimp, mushrooms, carrots, bean thread noodles, and seasonings in rice paper or wheat wrappers, then deep-frying until crispy. These golden rolls are often served alongside fresh herbs, lettuce, and a tangy dipping sauce like nuoc cham to balance their richness. Nutritionally, Cha Gio is a carbohydrate and protein-rich dish; its fillings provide some vitamins and minerals, particularly from vegetables. However, the deep-frying process increases calorie content and fat levels, potentially making them less suitable for those monitoring these aspects of their diet. Opting for fresh, non-fried spring rolls, or using an air fryer, can be healthier alternatives while retaining their authentic flavors.
