This was great and I would give 5 stars, but man it was a lot of work. I had a learning curve with the rice paper. Next time, I will buy larger rice paper sizes to reduce work. The sauce was good but my local Vietnamese place has this awesome hoisin sauce, so I am biased. Nonetheless, great and I am happy to have the experience making them. Side note - I read the comments and didn't use lettuce but added Basil
0 HelpfulMake them small! I overfilled the rolls at first and they were messy and unwieldy. Making summer rolls was fun to try, but the result wasn't really worth it.
0 HelpfulFun to make but the flavor is in the sauce. It would be nice to add more flavor to the rolls.
0 HelpfulNot easy to put together or eat. Added avocado and mint per other users suggestions and did not care for it with the mint.
