The spring rolls recipe as published was OK but I couldn't help doctoring them up to make them outstanding :-)! I used napa cabbage, frozen tiny steamed shrimp (canned is yuckky), and matchstick carrots. I also added shredded poached chicken breast, matchstick red peppers and cilantro. I didn't measure these but just threw in what I had -- that's the beauty of these: experiment! For dipping sauce, I used hoisin sauce, Thai sweet chili sauce and a soy/ginger sauce. The recipe made almost 50 spring rolls and they disappeared from the platter in less than 10 minutes at my brother's wedding reception! By the way, I made these the night before, laying them on a platter scattered with shredded napa cabbage. I covered them with damp paper towels and then shrouded the whole thing with foil. They were PERFECT the next day!

Have made these for two Xmas parties this season both times eaten in an hour. I added some bean sprouts and used real shrimp. I used Thia sweet chili sauce as my sweet and sour. what I like about this recipe is that you have a base to start with but you can add anything that you like. Thanks Rayna
WE REALLY LIKED THESE, I USED A BAG OF FROZEN COCKTAIL SHRIMP, NAPA CABBAGE, MUSHROOMS. TURNED OUT VERY WELL. TO SOAK THE RICE WRAPPERS, BE VERY CAREFUL. TOO LONG WILL MAKE THEM LIKE GLUE BALLS, TOO SHORT WILL MAKE THEM LIKE BENDING CARDBOARD. BY THE TIME I ROLLED ONE AND HAD 1 IN THE WATER SOAKING, THE NEXT 1 WAS READY TO BE ROLLED OUT. USE WARM WATER TOO.

Love Em! They are so FAST & EASY! They are also flexible; you can add & take away ingredients and jazz them up. I use Hoisen Sauce or spicy chili sauce, add cilantro, and I use steamed shrimp... These are delicious!
These were perfect after a little doctoring up. I didn't use shrimp, instead I used well chopped stir fry chicken with thai chili sauce and sweet and sour. This was the first time I've tried making Spring Rolls. These were easy and delicious!!
You must make the dipping sauce recommeded by others. 2 parts hoisin sauce to 1 part chunky peanut butter. Heat on the stove until mixed and add a bit of water to thin. Delicious reason to eat the spring rolls.
These Are EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love them because of their texture and they are refreshing because they weren't fried that was good, These I had in a local Thai place and are similar to these. These were SOOOOOOOOOOOO... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used brocoslaw to make it faster and all I could find was frozen rice papers it was so easy and mixed the slaw with sweet chili sauce from the Asin store I will be making these again.
I WAS VERY EXCITED TO MAKE HOMEMADE SPRING ROLLS FOR MY HUSBAND BUT WAS DISSAPOINTED HOW THEY TURNED OUT. I MADE A PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE FOR THEM BUT THE WHOLE THING WAS A DISASTER. I REALLY DON'T THINK I WILL BE MAKING THESE AGAIN.
I found this recipe to be a great starting place. I added some mint, cilantro and mushroom. Turned out great. I must have made the rolls to big because only ended up with 8 rolls.
This really was not what I was expecting at all. My friend and I tried this recipe one night and were disappointed with the results. However, they did taste a little better after we fried them.
I served these as an appetizer for friends and they loved them! I took others suggestion and added cilantro, fresh red pepper and fresh shrimp. Made 17 rolls, Delicious!
these were fabulous and super healthy!i put thai basil,slice of scallion,shrimp,finely shredded cabbage and carrots, and minced ginger. you can pick up a yummy thai pnut sauce and sweet chili sauce at any oriental market :) less is more when filling these rolls.you get a tighter fold and they are easier for guests to eat!
Great base recipe ~ Could use a little more flavor. I'm going to try grilling my shrimp first. These are my Mom's favorites and she ate them up!! Tks for giving me the courage to try making my own.
Great recipe, I did everything as advised except that I added bean sprouts and used whole cooked shrimp (frozen not canned). I also made a batch of dynamite sauce recipe and served with the rolls. You can make them the night before and leave in an air tight container and they stay perfect.
This was a pretty good recipes all though I added some more cilantro to it and I think my pork was too thick. However, my kids ate all of them!
I made mine with cabbage, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts and shitake mushrooms for a real veggie spring roll. I did not add shrimp. I serve with the Ginger People Sweet Chili Sauce from Whole Foods. Very good with homeade sushi.
I need more practice on rolling the rice noodles. Mine fell apart making it difficult to eat. I am sure it is good, just need to improve my skills I guess.
I didn't like these at all!! I Made them for a family party...but No one liked them. iI did use frozen salad shrimp instead of the canned, and it was still gross.
Not that good, Mixture was good. Made them for lunch, to test for Superbowl, glad I tested them before the Superbowl. Won't be making them the superbowl.
They were alright. I took out the celery and added cucumber and rice. I also used frozen shrimp instead of canned. After I doctored them up it was good.
