Summer rolls, gỏi cuốn in Vietnamese, are rice paper wrapped around shrimp, slices of pork, rice noodles, lettuce and fresh herbs. Nothing is fried, the paper is just softened in water.
Two rolls are 180 kcal, with 28 g of carbs, 9 g of protein and only 3 g of fat. The noodles and the rice paper are the carbs, the shrimp and pork the protein.
The dip is where the numbers move. The thick peanut and hoisin sauce they come with adds more than you'd think, fish sauce with lime adds very little.
Tips
- 1Dip, don't dunk. A corner in the sauce is enough.
- 2Ask for the fish sauce dip instead of the peanut one.
- 3Order them as the starter and the main gets smaller on its own.

How many calories in one summer roll?
About 90 kcal, without the dip.
How many calories in six summer rolls?

It can. Peanut butter and hoisin are both dense, so a big pot of it can come close to the rolls themselves. A thin fish sauce dip adds very little.
