To me, Gỏi Cuốn is one of those dishes that epitomizes balance in texture, acidity, and flavor. So naturally, I hated this food growing up cause it tasted too healthy. 

Gỏi Cuốn also happens to be one of the most recognizable dishes with the one caveat that, often times, it can be hard to find the traditional Vietnamese dipping sauces, so I wanted to share the two that I get up with.

First is the classic nuoc mắm tỏi, aka garlic fish sauce, and the other is nước tương đậu phộng, aka peanut hoisin sauce. Of course, you already know I had to make a durian spin on this too, so I present to y’all nước tương sầu riêng.

Nowadays, I’ve come full circle and love Gỏi Cuốn –  I wanted to continue my Việt-TX Brisket series by taking cues from my childhood palate and adding some mildly powerful hickory smoked brisket.

Add all these flavors, the surf & turf, and your fresh, crisp greens and veggies, and you are ready to go!
