Directions
Vietnamese Soft Rolls with Crab, A very refreshing roll, much like an updated goi cuon, with a choice of two Asian dipping sauces Served as an appetizer, these rolls make 16, but as a part of a main course, these serve 4 as part of an Asian meal The rice papers used in this recipe may be found at high end grocers or Oriental markets and are called Banh Trang , I totally love the Hoisin dipping sauce I didnt have all the ingredients needed for this recipe A little veggie monster raided my fridge and ate most of my veggies up I did have thai basil, bean sprouts, spinich and some left over fried salmon Oh my goodness was this amazing I could only imagin how much better it would have tasted with all the veggies YUM-O!!! The hoisin sause gave it that extra umph I have never used rice paper before and it was a little tricky to work with I am sure that practice makes perfect and in this case i have no problem with more practice I havent tried the Nuoc Cham dipping sauce yet, but I cant wait to try it out I have had fish sauce one other time and I enjoyed the flavor that it gave to the food Thanks for sharing , Very good!
