Chả giò

Chả giò is a Vietnamese dish that consists of egg rolls filled with pork, shrimp and vegetables. It is a popular street food in Vietnam, especially in Hanoi. There are many different types of chả giò depending on what ingredients you use, but they all have the same basic components: an egg roll wrapper filled with pork and shrimp, then fried until crispy.

It's believed that chả giò was invented during the French colonial period in Vietnam (1858-1945). At this time, French ingredients like mayonnaise were introduced to Vietnamese cuisine and became popular among locals. This influence can be seen today: most chả giò are served with a sauce made from mayonnaise and chili peppers.

Chả giò has become so popular that it's now common at weddings, birthdays and other special events in Vietnam!
