Spring Rolls

I tried to make Spring Rolls tonight.

Well... uh... at least they're edible. I think.

The prep was easy - I've got all the necessary ingrediants ready. I used shrimp, rice noodles, lettuce, shredded carrots, and bean sprouts. Prep actually takes a while, so it's probably worth it to do more than one at a time.

But once those rice paper thingies are soft they're kinda like gooey cling wrap! It's tough to get them to form a nice tightly wrapped roll without sticking to themselves or tearing.

Ah well. Practice makes perfect I guess. They still taste good. :-)
