My review is certainly no reflection on the recipe itself, it's just that my family didn't really care for these. It was a texture thing with the rice wrappers they didn't like. I'm certain they're just used to a crispy shell as in fried spring or egg rolls so being that I read you can sub rice wrappers for egg roll wrappers I'm going to give them a shot and try frying them. Don't get me wrong, they all ate two of these but they didn't ask for a repeat performance. Oh well, their loss! Thank you Cristina!

VERY IMPORTANT: there are 2 kinds of spring roll wrappers! DO NOT get the kind made of wheat flour from the freezer section that look like egg roll wrappers! Rice wrappers are thin, clear, and feel just like a dry noodle. In fact, the asian store I went to stocked the wrappers in the noodle aisle. You just have to moisten the wrapper in hot water for a second or two, NOT 20. It will feel hard but by the time you layer the ingredients it will have softened. Great recipe!

Spring rolls are supposed to be deep fried. These are salad rolls. But other than that, these are delicious.

these were good, I didn't make the hoisen sauce, maybe that was what this was missing. Avocado would be yummy in this as well. I thought it was a little plain but I don't think that was the fault of the recipe.

Excellent directions for handling the rice wrappers. I filled them with shredded Chinese cabbage and finely sliced shrimp, jalapenos, scallion, carrots, peppers, and alfalfa sprouts, cilantro and mint. Made a tasty dipping sauce with juice of one lime mixed with Hoisin sauce. They were a big hit with my dinner guests. This is an interesting substitute for a salad course.

At last!!! I have been looking everywhere for this recipe! Just like the ones I get at Vietnamese restaurants, and I really love them. I like to dip them in red chile sauce, fish sauce, with a touch of hoisin all combined. Great stuff!

Excellent. Very easy to make and even kept fresh for a day or so in the fridge. I did watch a video on u-tube on how to assemble them. (the visual helped me).

These are good. Fresh and healthy. I have been making spring rolls for a few years and I always put in carrot and a fresh basil leaf. Great to dip in peanut or hoisin sauce.

I was glad to learn how to make spring rolls! Always wanted to know how to do it! I would change a couple of the ingredients though. I would skip the rice noodles and fish sauce! Instead next time I think I will add some sliced cucumbers and shredded carrots! I just gave each roll a little dash of the fish sauce, and they turned out rather salty! That's why I would skip the fish sauce! But thanks for sharing the recipe!

These are delicious. I found similar spirng rolls in a vietnamese restaurant which were served with peanut sauce. I tried it at home and it was a big hit with the in-laws!
