Vietnamese fried spring rolls make excellent finger foods, and Chef Gene Nguyá»…n’s catering menu at Present (6678 Arlington Blvd., Falls Church) includes several kinds. The chả giò tôm cu are stuffed with shrimp, crab and pork or vegetables, while the chả giò rế feature marinated prawns and pork in a hand-rolled rice-thread wrapper. They reheat easily, but order in advance to make sure staff can ready a tray with plenty of fish sauce for dipping.
Thanks for the Invite. What Can I Bring?
