This sounds very simalar to the spring rolls I make. I use cellephane/bean thread noodles, mint and thai basil in mine. It makes them filling enough for a main course. I also prepare a couple of different kinds of meat like pork or chicken so people can make it to their taste. You could always leave out the meat or use tofu to make it vegetarian if you like. My family really enjoys sitting down to this 'hands on' meal!

My local Thai Restaurant stopped serving these, so I was delighted to find a recipe...and it tastes exactly like them. Thank you, thank you! Delicious!

I make these all the time for a quick, light dinner. My favorite dip is quick peanut sauce - 2T hoisin, 2T peanut butter, 1T light soy. Slowly drizzle water in until it achieves a smooth texture.

Yummy! They tasted just like I had ordered them at a Thai restaurant! I made the rolls exactly as the recipe read. Could not find mirin so I had to find a substitute online. The sauce was pretty good. We also had store bought peanut sauce which was very good on them. All I can say is you have to be very careful with the wraps or they will tear. You can do it though. This was a good starter before serving Sukhothai Pad Thai & Thai Chicken Curry with Pineapple from this site. TRY THIS RECIPE!!! AWESOME!

I followed the recipe exactly as stated, but these didn't turn out very good at all. The wrappers became very mushy and could barely hold the shrimp/veggie mixture inside. Also, the taste was extremely bland overall.

I love the freshness of this dish, however I changed a few things. I used mixed greens instead of regular lettuce which added great color to it. I also maranated then steamed the shrimp. The maranade is simple, I used lemon juice and garlic with a smidgin of olive oil. I then took my steamer and steamed the raw shrimp till the shells were pink, around 5 min. Instead of the dipping sauce which I wasn't fond of I used hoisen sause with crushed peanuts on top. WAYYYY better. Also for added spice I had a side of crushed chili sause.

i didn't have cucumber, so i just used carrots and lettuce and prawns. instead of cutting the carrots, i grated them with the big grater. i also added a bit of japanese mayonnaise for flavor. and i didn't make the dipping sauce, i just used kikkoman soy sauce. i'd make it again. it was easy to make and very yummy.

Very yummy! I'm Thai and I found this to taste similar to what my mother would make. I made this with several different dipping sauces. Always nice to have a salty, a sweet and a peanut sauce. I did cut each piece of shrimp into 3rds.

These were great, just like my local Thai restaurant. I bought the spring roll wrappers in Chinatown, so most of the packages weren't in English. I did find one in English that said to put a damp cloth over the wrappers for 30 mins. I did that, and it totally worked. I used water to seal the edges and they came out beautifully. Also, I used the satay peanut sauce as recommended by another reviewer. Awesome! I ate the sauce with a spoon!

Dipping the spring roll wrapper in warm water worked better for me. I used hoisin sauce with crushed peanuts for a dipping sauce.

This was pretty good, but took a while to prepare. I didn't really like th dipping sauce, so I used peanut sauce instead.

sorry - this did not work for me. I thought I had made these once before, but it must have been a different recipe. They were hard to roll tightly. so they looked sloppy. the wrapper became rubbery. I will not make these again.

I'm going to say that this was just ok...I forgot to put in the lettuce and my cilantro went bad(in 2 days), so I used chopped scallions instead. I think I was expecting more...the texture of the spring roll wrapper was a little rubbery. I will try these again, maybe adjust the filling, add shitaki mushrooms. The dipping sauce was great and I also found a jar of Thai spicy chili sauce in my food store which was so yummy and spicy. Will give this another attempt.

Great recipe! Maesri spring roll sauce is ideal for fried and fresh spring rolls. Add a small bunch of fresh chopped mint leaves for extra flavor! Most fresh spring roll wrappers need only a quick rinse on both sides and set about 60 seconds. I find this worked well on this recipe, as soaking resulted in wrappers that were too flimsy and weak to roll.

We liked these spring rolls. I couldn't find mirin at the store I went to so we used duck sauce instead. Since then I found mirin
