Thursday, May 2, 2024 1:51PMIn today's "The Dish," in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Month, we're making Vietnamese summer rolls.Chef and owner Tuan Phung hopes this will inspire you to throw a summer roll party.
It's one of a few protein choices he offers for the spread. He also threw a steak on the grill, which you slice up into easy-to-eat strips."I have Portobello mushrooms and okra, tofu and eggplant," he says. "Pick any vegetables you like.""I take a fish fillet and we cut it in a smaller size," he says.The base is rice paper. You dip it into water and shake it off so it's not too wet.Now, you add some crunch.Next, vermicelli noodles.
Phung was inspired by his father, who cooked for families in a Vietnamese refugee camp. He spent time there as a child, and his menu is packed with memories."These are things that I grew up eating in my city," Phung says. "We're from Haiphong in Northern Vietnam. We were an hour away from Hanoi, and 15 minutes away from the beach. Our food is coastal."When he first opened, he designed it as a bottle shop, with easy street food dishes.
