Directions
Goi Con – Vietnamese Spring Rolls, These treats are wonderful and are NOT FRIED! Delicious shrimp and veggies do the tuck and roll in a rice paper sheet and are snug and waiting for you to enjoy! Try dipping them in some recipe #137729 or any Asian style dipping sauce you prefer The mint is key to the flavor here and really comes through well As the name implies they are great in Spring- or any season- and making them will not heat your kitchen up while you cook You can see a video of how to roll here: mysuncoast com/Global/story asp?s=7800990, These are great! I love the combination of ingredients, and especially the mint and cilantro used lettuce instead of cabbage These are a bit labor intensive, but worth it! I dipped the rolls in Thai Dipping Sauce for Spring Wrap or Egg Rolls #33113 from this site So good!

Starting With the Side Closest to You, Begin to Roll Up Tightly. If You Stop Halfway and Gently Pull Back on the Roll to Tighten It Will Adjust and Settle the Ingredients and Make It Easier and Tighter to Finish Rolling. at the End the Wrapper Will Adhere to Itself. Just Wet by Running a Damp Finger Over the Top If You Feel It Is not Sealed Well. |

Note: You Will Get Better With Practice. the Second Will Look Better Than the First and So On. Rice Paper Varies in Thickness So If You Find the Brand You Are Using Is a Little Stiff to Work With Blot More or Less Water Off the Next Until You Find What Works For You. You Can Also Let It Sit For a Few Seconds Before Adding Ingredients or Use Slightly Warmer, Never Hot, Water For Dipping. Just Remember to Let the Water Drip Off and Wipe Your Work Surface Dry Each Time - a Dry Surface Allows the Rice Paper to Stick and Creates a Little Tension For Easier Wrapping. |
