Fresh Prawn Rolls | Gordon Ramsay 

I'm a Vietnamese and I find this recipe VERY interesting. Yes I know, it is NOT the way Vietnamese people normally prepare this dish and the rice paper wrap may be dipped for too long in the water BUT as it's written in the description (did you guys even read the description?), it's Gordon's recipe, it's HIS way of preparing the dish. So, please have some respect for his work and look on the bright side. Instead of trying to point out and blame him for his mistakes (which are quite insignificant), look at how he's actually making the dish a lot easier to prepare for foreigners who are not familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, not to mention that this is an excellent way to make the ingredients get mixed up more thoroughly inside of the roll so that it may give a better and certainly more fully taste of all the ingredients (especially the herbs) used. Anyway, this is one interesting way of making these rolls, I would totally give it a try someday.

I have plenty of Vietnamese friends, so I know there are a few different directions he takes with the recipe. However, after I watched this video, I went to my kitchen and made a handful and it's still delicious. So there are no mistakes in this recipe, it's just a different take. He never once claimed it was an authentic Vietnamese recipe, it's just the way he likes to make it. Like my friends also put eggs in their burgers - which I hate - but I don't say to them, "You're doing it wrong!" because it's their way. Live and let live.

Most youtubers: hey guys welcome back! On this weeks episode Gordan: first off soak the noodles

As a Vietnamese, i'm so proud that chef Ramsay have brought our cuisine culture to a legendary status.

As a Vietnamese, i noticed the difference between his way and our traditional Vietnamese way of making spring rolls. But who cares, for real. He does not replicate exactly the same dish. He experienced it, then make his own version, based on his personal idea of how the dish should be like, and that is enough already. It is more Western style of cooking and it is more suitable for you guys too, so yeah, why keep arguing and fighting about the "originality" or "mistakes"! Like hell, there's no such mistake in making the fresh spring roll with different way!

4am and I'm sitting here eating peanut butter from the jar, fuck my life -.-

I can't even imagine how good his family eats every day.

Other RU-vidrs: Long ass intro Gordon: First off, soak the noodles

I'm glad I'm not the only Vietnamese person in the comments who sees a couple mistakes in this video

1:10 "there's no olive oil in there." Gordon did i hear you right?

Being Vietnamese, I can see that he does change some things

His trip to Vietnam was hilarious. Respect for Mr. Ramsay.

Legend has it Gordon can only whisper when cooking food

the awkward feeling when you think that you can wrap it better than Gordon Ramsay, haha

Im Vietnamese and I like the spring roll Ramsey made in this video.

It's so nice when Gordon cooks Vietnamese food. I love the way he did it. I'm Vietnamese and I wanna try this creative way of fresh prawn rolls. Thank you so much for this video. Mr. Gordon.

Why does Gordon Ramsay talk like he's trying to seduce the food?

Should I cook this for the girl next door, I've never even talked to her before. Maybe I could make the prawn rolls and just put them through her letterbox.....

The Vietnamese spring rolls the Gordon Ramsay' s way, once again Gordon is showing his cleverness and creativity in the kitchen.

Compare to some other western chefs who "claims" to make authentic stuff but ended up messing it up this man is significantly better, and i appreciate his feelings for our country

I loooooove spring rolls and vietnamese food: what I usually do is lay out the individual greens and vermicelli in separate rows, roll halfway, place the shrimp on the outside, and then roll it up the rest of the way. That way, the shrimp stays on the outside and it looks really cool. Another thing Ramsey forgot to mention, the rice wrap WILL dry out, so if you're storing it or leaving it out to eat in a little while, cover it with a clean damp cloth or paper towel to keep it moist. Trust me, you don't want to eat spring rolls with a dry wrapping.

I'm Vietnamese and I cook at home very often. I think Mr.Ramsay did a good job. He gave one of our traditional dishes a fresh new look and respect. I'm so glad you did this, chef. Although some of your steps were not traditional and not the way we make the dish in Vietnam but you successfully delivered "Vietnamese food spirit" and your respect to our cuisine. Thank you for that.

It´s amazing! Thank you!

I love how passionate he is about cooking.

No "and a dash of salt and pepper"???

As a Vietnamese person, I have adored Chef Gordon Ramsay since I was 10 and I'm 18 now. I get so excited everytime Gordon makes Vietnamese food or just mentions it. I too see some diffirences in the way he made Vietnamese Spring Rolls. But It's ok. He is not Vietnamese and just stayed in VN for a week. And to make authentic is very difficult and take a long time more than just a week. So I hope Vietnamese people won't say anything to prove you know more than he does and he is wrong or something like that. And the people who are not Vietnamese please know that we just want to make it clear for you that this is not authentic Vietnamese cook. Don't get in a fight by this tiny little reason.

I love the way he refreshes this dish. It is more interesting than the traditional way I've tried before . Thanks

Could you do a full tour of your kitchen? that would be a treat! how you organize, what you have, your storage?

I love this blend to the traditional Vietnamese fresh rolls :D I love how he mixed different herbs together, truly bringing more fragrance to the rolls.

You forgot to add olive oil and some more olive oil

New idea for a series: Gordon's Ways We have a lot of "ways with [chefs name] but Gordon has dominated the kitchen for years. We should have a series where Gordon categorically shows his ways with different foods, herbs, spices. ♡

"We have to make a spicy dipping sauce" "Starting with *sugar* "

Gordon Ramsay has to be one of the most graceful chefs ever..he sprints from one place to another ..like he is singing with his recipes . Respect !

im a vietnamese and im cook to ... love gordon ramsay he's like an idol to me...... wish i can be his apprentice :(

I love when Chef Ramsay is all chill in his own kitchen..

I like the emphasis on flavor and simplicity. The ingredients sound fantastic, and I like the way it all went into a sort of salad with the chopped shrimp that you just roll up. Nice and quick. Must try!!

Everyone complaining of the "mistakes" It's a Ramsay's variation on traditional recipes. Their own style. It doesn't have to all be the same recipe.

Dear all the Vietnamese and other people commenting below that "Gordon is doing it wrong.." or sort of: Everyone has their own taste. Just like the spiciness of Indian food is lessened when it comes to VN. Just because Gordon made the roll differently doesnt mean he convict a culinary crime or some thing. And for the record, he never said the roll was VN-original/ exclusive! He took his inspiration from it, ok. And btw, cooking is also a kind of art. And art NEEDS creativity and diversity. So stop bitching and start cooking! I am a Vietnamese, I don't like spring rolls at all. But after watching this video, I love his recipie so I tried and the result was marvelous! Love it! It's very fresh and no fat!

You are a true master Gordon I love the passion you put into your food. I’m learning a lot from you.

Why does he whisper? Its like he's so into the cooking he wants it to be a sensitive thing. I love him so much for that.❤❤❤

everyone's commenting about the facts that he made mistakes and I'm just here commenting that it's 5:12am and I wANT one

vietnamese food ^^

Vietnamese food once again captivates another huge celebrity chef. Btw, Rest In Piece Mr. Anthony Bourdain, you will always be our brother

I love how gordon ramsay make this the way I want it to be. I always wanted to make it more flavour for the wrap so you can still eat it w/o the sauce bcoz people normally didn't put anything to season the wrap which for me it's quite tasteless just to eat it like that and depending only on the sauce to taste

To everyone that comment about his mistakes, take a chill pill. He never mention this is a "Vietnamese spring roll", it's a "fresh prawn roll". you don't have to correct a chef who hold 14Michelin stars.

Why do people to point out the mistakes when he also clearly did some stuff right. Look at those rolls, they are perfectly shaped even when the paper were soaking wet.

A good transformation of spring rolls in a really creaty way. love it 💘!

Proud of Vietnamese food was introduced to the world's friends by Chef Gordon Ramsay. Thank you.

omg cant believe he can eat fish sauce * w * Im so in love with him lolol. The way he make it even have better quality than every roll I have eaten until now ; w ; also, since i'm from Vietnam, I highly advise those who gonna make this: dont dip the rice round white thing into water too much, the best way is dip your fingers in and spread the water gently onto it. Dipping like that not only make you harder to hold, place down and roll it, but also make all the rolls you just put in the dish stick together, which will be ripped apart and a real mess whenever you want to take a roll to eat. ALSO, SINCE I HAVE ROLL DOWN AND SEEN PEOPLE SAY: I appreciate the way Gordon make, he even use the fish sauce to match with VNese way of eating, which I feel very bless right now. I just want people to have easier way to roll it. Gordon may be a top chef but he's not the best at every dish. And since he willing to learn from everything, I find it not that a big deal to show him and all the cook a better way for them to master the dish. For those who say :leave him alone, it's just a roll. I must say to you: Yes, it's only a roll, everyone can make it, just like every single simple dishes from all over the world that gordon learn, but the thing is: he's doing it in a restaurant level, so to the chef who want to make and serve it, it's not only a roll. Therefore, there's absolutely nothing wrong to have different people share different ways to make (except those who say what Gordon did is wrong, they're a bunch of thick head), not that you have to doing all the things they say anyway.

Why am I watching this at 2:28am

I’m trying these tomorrow and I can’t wait. Love all the herbs in it.

Gordon Ramsay: "Right, let's make ice cream. First off, hot pan, olive oil."

Fuck me that looks good

He didnt do it wrong, its just a different way. My Vietnamese friend said there are plenty of ways with different ingridients for this dish

He’s doing right. There’re lots of ways that Asian especially Vietnamese make a wrap. My friends in South Viet Nam do like this. So delicious!

Lol love the end when he says “the spring rolls I grew up with” um are you sure...?

Gordon, Oh Wow! The prawn rolls looks amazing and can just imagine the taste. Inspiring. Enjoyed. :)

Here is my recipe for better Spring Rolls: 1.Get the rice paper 2. Soak it in mouth for 5-10 seconds 3. Chew and Swallow

So much freshness

Simply delicious, made it 2 time, the first one followed the recipe 100%, last night I didn't have lettuce and I replaced with cucumbers and it was also good and so fresh. Didn't wrap, eat it as a salad, we loved it

He cooked Vietnamese foodddd So happyyyyyy ^^

that coriander givin me chills 😂

I love these recipes. I tried a few and they're delicious

Because there are many ingredients of this Vietnamese dish that cannot be found overseas, the recipe is slightly different. But it's delicious. Vietnamese dishes are always fresh and frugal with the philosophy of yin and yang.

Hello. I'm Vietnamese and I simply find this dish interesting and amazing. Why do we always have to do the dishes in a traditional way instead of trying doing something new? In the culinary world, there is no "right" or "wrong", just "normal" or "remarkable". So please stop judging and try doing as well as having some if you have time. To be honest, lacking of creativity is the fastest way to kill Vietnamese culinary art. That's all.

i love how his voice and words caress the food he makes, like he's making love to it lol

Vietnamese Spring Rolls - Look good! 👍👍

From Vietnam with love for you, Ramsay :D

Vietnam ❤️❤️❤️

Việt Nam đâu hết rồi nhỉ còn ai xem không, hay chỉ mỗi mình thôi nhỉ buồn ghê🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

You do the rolls justice Thank you Gordon From Vietnam

Yeah, this is a dish of Vietnam, my country. Delicious, good job chief, The best cooker in the world.

watching this crazy shit happen, while i'm sitting here eating chicken dippers.. Weird feeling

"There's no olive oil in there." Who is this and what have they done with Gordon Ramsay??

Many thanks for love and promote Vietnamese foods to world.

Loving that dipping sauce! Thanks Gordon.

Why does he sound like the man vs the wild guy here😂😂

Thanks for cooking VietNam food, Golden Ramsay!!!!

Thank you for introducing our vietnamese food to the world 😍

Gordon you’ve smashed it, that filling looks amazing. I think shredding the lettuce and mixing the ingredients is a great idea. The sauce looks super good, I’m definitely trying these. Thank you .✅

Gordon “knob of butter” Ramsay

Find someone that treats you like Gordon treats his rice sheets.

wow.will definitely try this.all the ingedients mentioned are available at my city calcutta.really excited

Love from Vietnam

Thank you for introducing our Vietnamese people's familiar food to the world

As a Vietnamese person, I couldn't help but notice a few mistakes in there, BUT it doesn't matter because the spirit of the recipe is there. I really appreciate Gordon's respect for Vietnamese cuisine though! But I wished he had done some more research to fix some glaring mistakes. Those are rice noodles, not glass noodles. Also, you only need to dip the rice paper in the water (for like 3 seconds?). No need to soak it in the water; that will just make it way too wet and hard to work with. The filling for the non-fried spring rolls is never mixed, and no sauce is added to the filling. Also the ingredients are usually a bit different than what Gordon used. There's often some thinly sliced omelette and steamed pork. To those suggesting frying these: the fried spring rolls have completely different fillings! No lettuce, and they actually use glass noodles (which are transparent even after they are cooked) instead of rice noodles (which Gordon used here and called them glass noodles).

My fav Vietnamese food 😍 and the fried spring roll

You are the best ! You make everything so simple to cook. I love all your videos. Thank you 😋

I Love Vietnam Foods !!!

why does his voice sound soo soothing?

I like this way so much! Mix it all up and roll.

I also love the fact that he can’t stay the hell still it’s so cute to me😂😂☺️

This had to be a fun episode to film. I mean all that wet rice paper just screams fun 😏

Remember when the editing was still like this? Yeah I miss it too

Back in ‘Nam, Gordon was in love with noodles and spring rolls!

This is amazing version of spring roll love It, Thank you for sharing.

why are people so triggered? food is food

Gordan, your wrapping technique needs work! Rice paper is too soggy when you dip the entire thing into the water. You spin it on its edge into the water and then take it out. Water will moisten the rice paper as you put in the filling and paper will still be somewhat chewy but still soft. Second, you need cucumbers in the wrap. Basil and parsley can be overwhelming spices if they aren't balanced with the mint. Rau ram and mint, plus a bit less basil and lesser of the coriander. Cucumber adds the extra crunch. My favorite has been Persian cucumbers - just the right texture and sweetness compared to other types. Texture is super important in Vietnamese cuisine, as you already know. Third, has nobody told you Squid fish sauce is a mediocre fish sauce? Vietnamese dipping sauces use nuoc mam nhi - first pressed fish sauce. Similar to first pressed olive oil, first pressed fish sauce is the premium kind with the most flavors. You season broths and soups with Squid and the lesser fish sauce, but dipping sauce requires nuoc mam nhi. Lolz

i had spring rolls for dinner today actually, and then this video came up how nice.

Looks amazing can't wait to try them
