( Shredded pork roll.)

Shredded pork meat wrapped in fresh rice paper and mix herbs is tasty Khmer Krom appetizer.
This recipe was branched off from Khmer Krom cold noodles with shredded pork( Num pa-chok nhoam). My great aunt told me a story about "Shredded pork roll" recipe. Many years ago, somewhere in Kampuchea Krom land. The children were hungry, they went in the kitchen asking their mother for something to eat while she was trying to prepared "Num Pa-chok nhoam" for their guests. The young Khmer mother quickly wrapped some shredded pork meat in the rice paper, and gave to her children. When the husband saw how much the children enjoyed the shredded pork roll; he asked his wife to makes some for the guests also. It became instant popular appetizer since.
