One of my favourite things to eat are Vietnamese Summer Rolls, or Gỏi Cuốn. Served cold, they can include pork, and in the UK I've had them with crispy duck in, which is lovely. However the more typical variant is a prawn roll. The wrapper is made from rice flour, but unlike a wonton wrapper that you might use for a spring roll, these become translucent when dampened in water. The wrappers are assembled with this in mind, so that the prettiest ingredients are placed at the centre of the roll.
