    I'm vietnamese and we always eat spring rolls. We put shrimp or pork, lettuce, cucumbers, fresh mint, basil, and rice vermicelli noodles in ours. - 2/8/10

    I don't think these need any kind of mayonnaise at all. Our Vietnamese restaurant serves these with a rice vinegar-based dipping sauce and they are amazing. And yes, shrimp, lettuce, cucumber, vermicelli, fresh basil and mint, plus pickled daikon and carrot are all you need. Delicious. - 6/20/10

    Try using leftover chopped pork tenderloin, leaf of green leaf lettuce with rib cut out, bean sprouts, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, shredded carrots, basil leaves, whole wheat spaghetti, chopped peanuts. Sauce: hoisin sauce, lemon juice,srircha chili sauce, minced garlic, little honey, chop peanuts - 6/8/10

    Delicious! I mixed some fish sauce in with the slaw mix before making the rolls and didn't need any of the mayonnaise sauces. Try finding "Three Ladies" brand of rice paper -- it's the best I've found. There's a good article on buying various rice papers at the Viet World Kitchen website. - 7/1/10

    I made my own dipping sauce with lemon juice, olive oil, tamari and fresh ginger. - 2/15/11

    So the recipe for Thai Sauce is mayo + Thai Sauce?! That doesn't make any sense. That's like giving a recipe for pesto that includes prepared pesto.

    I also HATE the inclusion of dairy in an asian recipe. That's wrong and unnecessary. Use tofu as a protein option. String cheese would be disgusting - 7/30/11

    There is a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Orlando. They make them as an appetizer with grilled pork. When we go, I order two servings and eat as a meal. When you make these, don't soak the papers too long or too many at a time. I had to eat in bowl as a salad with gummy slime. LOL - 6/22/10

    Easy, healthy and very tasty. I love the idea of making different rice rolls, some with turkey, some with chicken and some with cheese. gr8 idea to serve visitors while waiting for the main meal. - 2/8/10

    These were amazing, so simple but sooo yummy! Just a little bit of sauce goes a long way. I made the basil sauce but used sundried tomato pesto instead of regular pesto and it was even better! (I've tried it both ways) - 7/8/10

    Just made these. You have to practice to get them rolled right. I used the small papers - needed to use the larger ones I think - couldn't get much rolled into them. I used the broccoli slaw and shrimp, green onions and cilantro. I used the peanut dipping sauce, store made - it was great. - 8/27/10
  • MORRISDATTER
    absolutely fantastic. A great and easy and low in the "bad" carbs - thanks for this!! (I put in very little mayo and will probably leave it out next time. it's not necessary.) - 7/31/10

    These are more salad rolls than spring rolls. The greatest thing is that they are totally transportable, especially if you spritz them lightly with a bit of oil so they don't stick together - 9/29/11

    The best mushroom for spring rolls is the "nam meo" (black fungus) available in most Asian markets pre-sliced. Saigon style are fried (use soy or olive oil). We also make a vegan style rolls which are a favorite of certain of our friends. - 10/30/11
  • KASHMIR
    Rice vinegar with a little mirin is a nice fresh dipping sauce, though I also make my own "peanut sauce" using almond butter, hot water, and siracha. I've never put cheese in mine, tofu, shrimp, chicken, or just veggies! My fav fillings are carrot, lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, and rice noodles. - 7/30/11

    I've tried replicating what we get as salad rolls in a Vietnamese restaurant. I use chicken, bean sprouts, and vermicelli and whatever else comes to mind. These make a great lunch for kids at school - just fill with what they like. Yummy! - 6/27/12

    I used mock duck and it is great. It takes a lot more time than 5 minutes to make these. 5 minutes only works if you don't count prep time. - 4/24/12
  • JAZZEDBUTTERFLY
    You don't put cheese in a spring roll. Chef fail. Just use veggies. - 2/9/12

    I love the Vietnamese spring rolls. Those ooze freshness. This recipe, not so much. Mayo? Really? - 7/29/12
