Fresh Spring Rolls

Tomorrow Q is going to order batches and batches of food items from Vietnam Banh Mi So #1 for a class visit at work. I am so envious i can't even think! The place is a tiny take-out shop on Broome St and although they are mainly known for the "banh mi" sandwiches (5 kinds of Vietnamese meats, seasonings, cilantro, carrots, cucumber and chiles on a toasted baguette) their Vietnamese fresh spring rolls are amazing! They have the regular ones stuffed with shrimp and rice noodles but the vegetarian version they make is so tasty that most shrimp eaters prefer the meatless ones! They are filled with a delicious mixture of mushrooms, pressed tofu, noodles, vegetables, fresh herbs and seasonings, served with a sweet peanutty sauce. Banh Mi So also makes fresh squeezed juices like the hard-to-find sugarcane squeezed with an old-school wringer contraption. Anyone in the vicinity of Chinatown/Little Italy, you must not miss these fresh spring rolls!
