Taste Atlas, a renowned food and gastronomy guide, describes nem rán as a dish made of minced pork and shrimp, wrapped in soft rice paper, then fried to golden perfection.
The crispy, thin outer layer encases a savory filling of pork, shrimp, glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and vegetables. The unique combination of ingredients creates a rich and irresistible flavor, as noted by the site.
This is not the first time nem rán has received international recognition. In May 2023, Taste Atlas also included Vietnamese spring rolls in its list of the "100 Best Appetizers in the World." Additionally, CNN once ranked nem rán among the "50 Best Foods in the World."
A celebrated dish on the global culinary map
Taste Atlas, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Zagreb, Croatia, is known for cataloging traditional dishes worldwide.
According to Matija Babić, the platform’s founder, the rankings are based on evaluations and reviews from culinary experts and critics to ensure the reliability and prestige of their selections.
Vietnamese spring rolls, with their iconic blend of texture and flavor, continue to affirm their place as a standout in global cuisine, representing the rich culinary heritage of Vietnam.
