Vietnamese often choose vegetarian dishes for Vu Lan festival (the 15th of the seventh lunar month), a day traditionally used to pay respects to one’s parents. Vegetarian spring rolls only takes 30 minutes to prepare. Made from vegetables and tofu, the dish helps improve both health and spirit during lockdown.
