Vietnamese Summer Rolls

"Do not confuse these with spring rolls - these are summer rolls. Spring rolls are wrapped in slightly thicker skins/wrappers, and are usually fried and served with chili sauce. Summer rolls are less well known, typically Vietnamese, they don’t go anywhere near hot oil at the risk of crumbling and dissolving - the rice papers for summer rolls are much thinner and softer. They are far more healthy: no fat! no deep frying! next to no carbs! Daintily packaged, with shrimp peeking pinkily through the thin film of the wrapper. Just what you wrap as filling is flexible. Bits of freshness are needed especially if you include pork: cucumber, carrot sticks and I find pickled ginger goes very nicely."
