Fresh springrolls

The Vietnamese take on "taco night". You choose basically whatever stuff you like,  wrap it into a soft little parcel of rice paper, then dip the whole thing into sauce and eat it. In "Into the Vietnamese Kitchen" there are 3 different takes on springrolls; there are "Southern Salad Rolls" with shrimp, pork, noodles and herbs, "Beef and Jiacama Hand Rolls" and "Shrimp and Crab Rolls".

Filling the spring roll

We chose to make real simple ones, containing shrimps, noodles, spring onion and herbs. The wrapping is bought in hard dried sheets that you soak in water to soft them up. These work great with my (now) 4 year old son, we just make sure that there is some stuff he likes and then let him manage his rolls on his own.
