They're a wonderful addition to menus when you need to present a variety of finger foods, as an appetizer, or as a main course option. The spring rolls are a great alternative for salad, but they also provide enough protein for a full meal.

Thai Fresh Spring Rolls

Set rice wrappers aside. In a cup, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce (if using), and brown sugar.

Place rice noodles, shrimp, bean sprouts, Thai basil, coriander, carrots, and spring onions in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over. Toss to mix.

Fill a large bowl with hot water (but not boiling, as you’ll be dipping your fingers into it). Start by submerging 1 wrapper into the water. It should soften after 30 seconds.

Remove the wrapper and place on a clean surface. Add another wrapper to the hot water as you fill and roll the first one.

Place a heaping tablespoon of roll ingredients toward the bottom of the wrapper. Spread out the ingredients horizontally (in the shape of a fresh roll).

Fold the sides of the wrapper over the ingredients, then bring up the bottom.

Tuck the bottom around the ingredients and roll to the top of the wrapper.

To secure the roll: Wet it with a little water on your fingers and press (like sealing an envelope). 

To serve, place your platter or bowl of rolls on the table along with the dipping sauce.
