A few Spring Rolls in honor of Spring!

It was just warm enough today to want something that was light and lucious. I had some veggies that needed to be consumed, some frozen shrimpies in the freezer that I thawed and the last of the dipping sauces from the scallion pancakes that needed to  be used up.

Spring rolls are one of those dishes where things need to be mise en place as the French say~ meaning, you need everything sliced and diced and ready to roll (no pun intended).....






 To soften the rice paper wrappers,I put some very warm water in a frying pan. It was easy to soak them and pull them out. I let the excess water drip back into the pan, put the wrapper on a plate and filled it with goodies. This roll will have scallion, shrimp, rice noodles, lettuce, carrots, peanut satay sauce and cucumber.





The finished product. I did two with shrimp and two without.   I drizzled some of the soy ginger dipping sauce over the top... 




I had thought to keep two for lunch tomorrow, but ate them for dinner instead.....
