About Fried nems

Fried Nems, commonly known as Vietnamese Spring Rolls, are a beloved dish from Vietnamese cuisine. These crispy, golden rolls typically consist of a rice paper wrapper filled with a mixture of ground pork or chicken, shrimp, glass noodles, mushrooms, carrots, and fragrant seasonings such as garlic and pepper. Once assembled, the rolls are deep-fried to achieve their signature crunchy texture and are often served with dipping sauces like nuoc cham, a sweet and tangy fish sauce blend. While Fried Nems are flavorful and satisfying, their deep-fried preparation raises concerns about fat and calorie content. However, they provide protein from the meat and shrimp, fiber from vegetables, and some complex carbohydrates from noodles. Moderation and pairing with fresh herbs or light side dishes can balance their impact as part of a meal. For a healthier twist, opt for a baked version or pair with fresh, un-fried accompaniments.
