Soft Shell Crab Summer Roll (Seasonal)

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

The soft shell crab summer roll is a special on Café Asean’s menu that shouldn’t be missed. A great variation on the traditional Vietnamese summer roll, the deep-fried soft shell crab is an amazing substitute for shrimp. Arugula adds a refreshing and pungent kick while the mango strikes a sweet contrast. The cucumber is crisp and the avocado — well, that just makes everything taste good. All these goodies wrapped in rice paper make a light and cool summer dish. And don’t forget the kaffir lime and jalapeño chili sauce that’s made in house. It’s spicy but a must-add!
