Fresh Spring Rolls with Shrimp

I love fresh spring rolls, but they are rather expensive to buy readymade, so I made my own. I can't remember the shock I felt when I tried shiso leaves in them...it was a great match. Since then I've always used shiso leaves in these.
The shiso leaves make a big difference, so I definitely recommending including them.
The other vegetables can be anything you like. Try out your favorites. You can use canned tuna or ham etc. instead of the shrimp.
The last important part of the recipe is the rolling. Just try it several times to get a feel for it. For 7 rolls. Recipe by rinsora705

Fresh Spring Rolls Fresh Spring Rolls
I love fresh spring rolls, so I make them with ingredients that we always have at my house. Using boiled eggs or shrimp turns them into colourful and gorgeous fresh spring rolls. This time I used canned young (mini) corn, but crab-flavoured kamaboko and okra taste delicious and also look beautiful when the spring rolls are sliced in half.It's quicker to rehydrate the rice paper wrappers in hot water, but if they get too soft, they are hard to handle. So I think it's better to rehydrate them in cold water until you get the hang of it to avoid mistakes. If the rice paper wrappers are still too stiff to roll, wait a little until the moisture from the ingredients soften them. They will soon be soft enough to use. For 10 rolls.

Fresh Spring Rolls with a Delicious Sauce Fresh Spring Rolls with a Delicious Sauce
I love fresh spring rolls but I'm not too fond of sweet chili sauce...so I combined my favorite seasoning ingredients to make this delicious dipping sauce.Even people who don't like vegetables will eat them served like this, so it's a great way to try out all different sorts of vegetables.When rehydrating the wrappers, it's best if you take them out while they are still a bit firm, since the moisture in the wrapped vegetables will soften them some more and make them just right. If they are still too hard try spraying them with water using a mister or spray. You can also try lightly brushing some water on them. Recipe by Taberunba cookpad.japan -

Fresh Spring Rolls with Cheese & Cucumber Chikuwa Fresh Spring Rolls with Cheese & Cucumber Chikuwa
Cucumber chikuwa is a great appetizer, and I made it to be more voluminous! You can eat a lot of these spring rolls in place of a salad I stuff chikuwa with whatever I fancy to enjoy various kinds of fresh spring rolls.It's quicker to rehydrate rice paper wrappers in hot water, but they will be difficult to handle if they soften too much. So you won't fail much if you rehydrate them in water until you get used to making fresh spring rolls. If the rice paper wrapper is too hard to roll, it will soften with the moisture from the vegetables, so let them rest for a little. The rice paper wrapper will soon soften enough to roll.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls (Shrimp & Grilled Pork) Vietnamese Spring Rolls (Shrimp & Grilled Pork)
Vietnamese spring rolls (gỏi cuốn) or fresh spring rolls is a light dish yet so satisfying! Low in calories and served cold which is perfect for hot days!It's made with rice paper that is filled with fresh herbs, vermicelli noodles, lettuce, and your choice of protein. This goes best with a spicy fish sauce dip (nước chấm) or a creamy peanut-hoisin sauce!If you don't have an ingredient, it is okay and you can sub it for something else you like.Tip// dip the rice paper in cold water then wait about 20 seconds and it should soften up, this helps prevent the rice paper from breaking. jc.eeats -

Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce
The fresh spring rolls I had at a food stall in Vietnam were so tasty that I toyed around with various flavors to come up with the right recipe The sauce is truly delicious.Use your choice of fillings. You don't have to have all of the ingredients. I also recommend filling them with avocado or kimchi. You could also substitute leftover somen noodles for the cellophane noodles. Wrapping the fillings first in the green salad leaves prevents the wrappers from breaking apart while wrapping, and also while eating. Recipe by Tomonchicchi cookpad.japan -

Especially for the dipping sauce since hubby requested #oilfree and #sugarfreeI used soy sauce instead of fish sauce.So here’s my recipe: Nia Hiura
