Cambodian Summer Rolls and Dipping Sauce image

I like these summer rolls as they are a great alternative to deep-fried egg rolls. They also make a great side for any Asian dish. I also like that they are easy to make and don't take much time. I didn't make any changes to the recipe, however next time I think I will put a little less fresh mint in the rolls. I just felt that the mint was too over powering, but besides that they taste great!!

I thought these summer rolls were just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the dipping sauce was too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of rice paper, but these summer rolls were still really good. The filling was flavorful and the dipping sauce was delicious.

I love how customizable these summer rolls are. I added some grilled tofu and avocado to mine, and they were delicious!

The rice paper wrappers were a bit tricky to work with at first, but I got the hang of it after a few tries. The end result was worth the effort!
