The balance between shrimp’s sweetness, pork’s richness, and crunchy vegetables creates a clean, satisfying bite. It’s usually served with peanut hoisin sauce or fish sauce with garlic and chili.
Ideal as a light lunch or appetizer. Watching locals expertly roll the ingredients is part of the charm, especially at small family eateries.
