  Prepare the ingredients

  After buying the papaya, remove all the seeds and the skin, then cut the papaya into pieces of moderate length, about the length of a hand, then rinse the papaya with clean water and use a multi-purpose grater to shred the papaya into small strands.

  Rinse the shredded papaya about 3 – 4 times with diluted salt water, then use your hands to squeeze the papaya strands tightly and place them in a basket to drain.

  Next, soak the vegetarian ribs in hot water for about 15 minutes until they swell and soften, then remove them and rinse with clean water 3 – 4 times, squeeze out the excess water, and tear them into bite-sized strips.

  Beetroot, after purchasing, peel, wash it clean with water, and then cut it into small pieces.

  Then, put the cut beetroot along with 1/2 cup of filtered water into a blender and blend until smooth. After that, use a thin cloth or sieve to extract the beetroot juice and discard the pulp.

  Finally, soak the agar-agar strands in warm water for about 10 – 15 minutes, then remove them and let them drain.

  Pouring into molds and finishing

  Pour the freshly made vegetarian sour spring rolls from the pot into a large mold and spread the mixture evenly in the mold, then sprinkle 3 tablespoons of whole pepper over the surface of the spring rolls.

  Wait about 25 minutes until the vegetarian sour spring rolls cool down, then place them in the refrigerator and leave overnight.

  The next day, take the vegetarian sour spring rolls out of the mold and cut them into bite-sized square pieces about 2 finger lengths.

  For each piece of vegetarian spring roll, add a slice of garlic, 3 slices of chili, and 2 leaves of Vietnamese coriander on top. Finally, wrap the piece of spring roll with food-grade plastic wrap to complete.

  Note: When spreading the freshly made sour spring rolls into the mold, remember to do it quickly so that the spring rolls do not harden before being shaped!
