Home cooking attempt — Goi Cuon from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Goi Cuon from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting rice paper right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The subtly sweet and spiced result was rewarding once I got it right.

fresh herbs added at the table are a defining characteristic. I served it with fresh sugarcane juice as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Goi Cuon yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
