Vietnamese spring rolls

This is the kids favorite meal to make. They love the rice noodles, rice paper and filling it with the vegetables they want. Tonight we are doing lettuce cucumber, zucchini, carrots, sprouts, chicken, mint and anything else the kids may want to add to it.

For mine and hubbies we have rice noodles, lettuce, sprouts, grilled wasabi chicken, zucchini, cucumber, carrots and mint. I made a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.

Full disclosure: this is our 5th time making them. The first time it took me 2 hours to prepare all the veggies, cook the shrimp and 3 attempts at the rice noodle before they were correct. The first attempt ended with very soggy gross noodles. The second attempt was slightly less gross noodles. The third was magical. The rice paper was also a learning curve. Very steep curve at that. Either the paper was perfect or a soggy mess. There really was no in between.
