TasteAtlas praises Vietnamese spring rolls on global list of best fried-dishes

The local delicacy is the only Vietnamese representative to feature on the list, ranking 43rd with a rating of 4.3/5 stars.

Called Chả giò in the south and Nem rán in northern Vietnam, both names are used to refer to fried spring rolls. The main characteristic of these scrumptious rolls is the pork and shrimp filling found within, which is wrapped in delicate rice paper, the website wrote.

TasteAtlas revealed that frequent additions to the stuffing include vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, or mushrooms, as well as glass noodles and bean sprouts.

The rolls are swiftly fried to achieve an appetizing golden colour with a thin, crispy, and light outer layer, as well as a delectable filling, it added.

Topping the list is fried chicken from the Republic of Korea. The other specialties to feature among the Top 5 dishes includes Karaage of Japan, Fritto misto of Italy, Jalea of Peru, and Pempek of Indonesia.
