Sooo good! There's something about the combination of fresh herbs with the noodles and shrimp that made this divine. This tastes just like the spring rolls I order at my favourite Vietnamese restaurant (maybe even a little better!). It's so refreshing and the perfect accompaniment to a summer meal. Thanks!

I love these rice paper rolls. At my local Vietnamese restaurant they are called "Fun Rolls" because the fresh ingredients, dipping sauce, rice paper and a bowl of hot water are brought out to your table and you wrap them yourself! I prefer them with a lighter dipping sauce made with 1/4 cup of water, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon sugar and a touch of fresh crushed garlic; divine.

I was intimidated to make these, but tried, and was impressed with how easy they really are. I added seedless matchstick sliced cucumber, more shrimp, and reg. basil. Great, but something was missing.....not quite like the restaurant quality i hoped for. Any suggestions??

I used egg rolls and fried them instead of spring rolls because I could not find them in the grocery store. The fresh herbs were wonderful in the roll, and the recipie for the fish sauce dipping sauce was incredible. Highly recomment the sauce!

I've had a vietnamese dish named buns (boons). Anyway, since then I've remembered the ingredients but didn't know how to make the fish sauce (named nuoc mam). I found a recipe but when I made it, it didn't taste anything like the restaurant. So, I decided that was the best I could do, then decided to see if I could do spring rolls. I got your recipe and saw the fish sauce and couldn't believe it. I've looked all over this web site for it. Anyway, I made it and it was just like the one I'd eaten before. I poured the other out. I didn't have all the ingredients for the spring rolls, although I will soon. I'm just glad I looked for them. Thanks

Finally! I was trying to make these by 'memory' from the ones I have at the Vietnamese restaurants, but they kept falling apart! Dipping the rice paper one at a time was the trick! These are so easy and inexpensive to make. I usually use a satay sauce, though...I make it by mixing peanut butter, hoisin sauce, a dash of soy sauce and a little broth for consistency (or onion and garlic powders and water).

These were a big hit at a neighborhood party. Very fresh & everyone favorably commented they weren't deep-fried. Suggest making sure all ingredients are dry; too much water (noodles) can leave rolls soggy. Suggest 30 min refrigeration. LOVED the 1st sauce!

This is an excellent recipe. I served it at a ladies cocktail party and it was a huge hit. I didn't care for the two sauces alone. I found that by mixing two parts of the hoisen/peanut sauce to approximately 1 part of the fish/lime sauce I got a dipping sauce that I preferred.
