Spring Rolls

I made some amazing Spring Rolls the other day. Actually, they were chicken-green mango spring rolls with a Thai pineapple-lime dipping sauce. It was my first experience using rice paper in my kitchen. My sister Rachel actually helped me with that...I would definitely suggest doing it with a partner your first time. Rice paper is pretty cool stuff! You can only get it as Asian markets, though...it took me a couple days to get my hands on it. It is super fast, so once you have all your filling ingredients ready, you soak the paper in hot water for a couple seconds and then it is ready to be stuffed, rolled, presented, and of course, eaten. Delicious!!!

Wow! That looks good. I made some similar Vietnamese spring rolls the other day, but I only had regular chicken in it, and I used a traditional fish sauce to dip it in.

Actually, they were really good, because actually I was there. Actually Lucy and Kimi were actually there too, actually.
