I love the fresh Vietnamese rolls, but the fried ones are equally delish. These are stuffed with a delicious Chicken and Shrimp mixture with bean noodles and then encased in rice paper, tightly rolled and then deep fried.

I love the texture of these rolls, they are gluten free and I also include how to air fry them in the video.
