Spring Rolls Were a Huge Hit At Our Open House!

Authentic Vietnamese Spring Roll Recipe

This is the recipe for the Spring Rolls that were featured at our recent open house - so many of you have asked for the recipe, we're posting it here.

Ingredient:
Spring Roll Wrapper – After all desired filling ingredients are prepared, and family is ready to eat, dip one wrapper at a time into a large bowl of warm water then place on a diner plate. (Do not stack the dipped wrappers onto one plate. They will stick together. Instead, place one only on each individual family member’s diner plate.)

Dipping the wrapper in water will make the wrapper pliable enabling it to be rolled up after filling. Once the wrapper is placed on a diner plate do not attempt to remove wrapper from plate.

To fill: Starting in a corner of the wrapper first place lettuce and then other items.

To roll: Carefully pick up corner below lettuce and pull up and over filling items. Begin rolling tightly. Once wrapper is tightly rolled to the mid-point then fold in side corners. Continue rolling to the end. Dip end into desired sauce and enjoy!


Rice noodles or rice Рprepare according to package directions, and then can saut̩ with garlic in olive oil.

Optional, but recommended fillings:
- Bean sprouts, rinsed and dried
- Lettuce, washed and dried
- Peanuts, chopped
- Mint (fresh), rinsed and dried

Suggested Main Veggie Dish:
Tofu Рsaut̩ in olive oil. Add thinly sliced julienne styled Carrot, and any other thinly sliced julienne styled vegetables that you desired. Garnish with fresh Parsley and Cilantro.

Prepare Shrimp, chicken, or whatever cooked meat or seafood you wish to add.

Sauces Ideas:
- Hoisin Sauce
- Hot Sauce/Asian Chili Sauce
- Soy Sauce

The great thing about Spring Rolls is you can fill them with whatever you want! Feel free to be creative!

Getting Better All the Time...

On April 9th, 2010, Dr. Huynh-Le and Dr. Long attended a one day lecture and hand-ons continuing education course in Plantation, Florida.

"Same-Day Immediately Loaded Screw Retained Implant Supported Overdenture" was the topic discussed by Dr. Hamid R. Shafie, the founder of the Center for Oral Implantology at Johns Hopkins University.
This same day treatment protocol and advanced planning allows the treating dentist and patients the benefits of same day replacement of teeth with fewer office visits, without prolonged waiting time after implant placement.

First Annual Open House

Thursday, March 25th, 2010 marked the first open house at Park Family & Cosmetic Dentistry.

After much anticipation and preparation, our team welcomed invited patients, guests, other specialists and their staff to a pleasant evening of food and wine.

The menu included shrimp cocktails, a variety of meat and cheese platters, pinwheel wraps, vegetable platters with dips and a taste of Vietnamese cuisine: fried bananas, egg rolls, spring rolls accompanied by different exotic sauces. The desserts were sensational, with an oversized cake complemented by fruits and other sweet treats.

With a turnout of approximately 100 people, we considered this event to be a great success - it provided our team with the opportunity to get to know our clients and their guests better. This inaugural open house received so much positive feedback from the visitors, that we plan to make this an annual event for the years to come.

If you'd like to be included on the guest list next year, feel free to contact us. Contact information can be seen at www.myparkdental.com
