About

Besides the rolling technique, the dipping sauce is the key to the success of these spring rolls (cuốn diếp chay). Fermented soybean sauce is sold at Asian food stores under the name of tương bần, tương Bắc, or tương Cự Đà. It is pungent and very bold in flavor, which helps to enhance the flavor of vegan dishes.
