    List of Ingredients




    A dozen 8 to 9 inch-diameter rice paper wrappers (also called spring roll wrappers or spring roll skins), made from rice flour or tapioca flour

    Any recipe for your favorite filling.
    This can be a salad, or meat or seafood filling, or anything else you can come up with. (leftovers ?)
    You can also put your filling in a lettuce wrapper before wrapping with the rice paper.
    Include 2 different dipping sauces on the side, as well as hot mustard and sesame seeds. (optional).

    Recipe



    To make rolls:
    Fill a large bowl with warm water. Put two of the rice paper wrappers in the water and soak until pliable, about 30 seconds. Carefully remove the wrappers from the water and set them on a clean kitchen towel. Spoon about 1/2 cup of your favorite filling on the lower third of each rice paper wrapper and arrange the filling, crosswise, into a log, leaving about a 1-inch border. Bring the lower edge of the wrapper up over the filling to enclose it. Fold in the sides of the wrapper over the filling, and then roll into a tight cylinder. Press lightly to seal the edges. Transfer the finished rolls to a platter and cover with a damp paper towel. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. The rolls can be assembled several hours ahead. Cover them with a damp paper towel, then plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Serve with dipping sauces, seeds and chopped nuts if desired.
