Reviews
This was by far the worst thing I have ever made. The best part was the dipping sauce. Biting through the rice paper was so revolting. Next time I would make a salad out of the ingredients, skip the papers.
This was a unique recipe. Unfortunately we had to eliminate carrots because I am allergice to them. But the recipe tasted amazing, the summer roll paper was difficult to work with, however, i am sure with time it will be easier.
These rolls were easy to make and so decilious. They took some time to julienne the veggies. But, can be made ahead of time . The dipping sauce is great for other things too! My husband tried it and started talking marinades!
A Must Try!!

Had a little get together at my house and these rolls were a hit…easy to make too
This is a simple recipe and delivers a very fresh taste. The trickiest part of this recipe is rolling the rice paper but after a few times you’ll get the hang of it.
I made a few changes just to adjust to my tastes.
I used grilled chicken with 5 spice instead of shrimp. I also threw in a serrano chile in the vegetable mix to spice it up. For the sauce I just used a simple mix of fish sauce, garlic, sugar, cilantro, mint and serrano chile. Hoisin sauce is also an easy alternative that goes well with this.
