Secrets to making special nem with available ingredients

The vegetables mixed with the nem, such as carrots, peas… should be squeezed to remove excess water before adding them.

The glass noodles only need to be soaked in warm water. If soaked in too hot water, the noodles will expand and easily burst when frying nem.

Pay attention to not wrapping the nem too tightly

You can use diluted vinegar (1/2 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar) to moisten the rice paper before wrapping. This method helps make the nem crispy and more beautiful when frying.

When wrapping the nem, you should not wrap it too tightly. Wrapping the nem too tightly will make it prone to shell breakage during frying. Only wrap it moderately, it can be slightly loose in the hand.

A small tip to make the nem crispy and intact when frying is to use 1 and 1/2 sheets of rice paper stacked on top of each other to wrap the nem. This way, the outer layer will be crispier.
