What is the coating of this spring roll called, and how is it made?
I had these spring rolls at a restraunt, but as you can see the outside was quite different to the 'normal' spring rolls I usually see.
The texture is light and crispy and looks 'stringy (but doesn't taste or feel that way).
I think it was quite interesting and would like to give them a shot but aren't sure what they're called to search for a recipe.

Answer 2
The dish you ate is called Ch? giò r?. The coating is called Bánh tráng r?.
"R?" is hisitorically a rattan or bamboo net to rest hot pans and pots after cooking.
Bánh tráng r? is made mainly from rice powder. But there are also variations which are made from a mixture of rice powder, corn powder and cassava powder. Some salt and sugar are added too.
Making Bánh tráng r? is a crossover of making rice papers and noodles. Traditionally, you have a fryer with a flat and wide surface. Soggy rice liquid will be poured into that hot surface to get steamed through tiny holes drilled from a container.
