“Rice paper rolls are all about the herbs. I don’t think people use enough herbs when making them at home. I sometimes get lazy, and instead of cooking prawns and pork, I’ll buy a supermarket roast chook, shred it and sub that in instead. I also like to let people roll their own rolls at the table.” – Khanh Ong
