Lettuce rolls with meatballs and fresh herbs

Vietnamese cuisine gives us exotic flavours and freshness in every bite. These meals are since long popularised around the world and can frequently be seen at food fairs. One of the most recognised dishes are the summer rolls, or “nems”. In this version, the roll is made with the same lettuce leaf and the lead stuffing is the meatball.
