Steps:
- To make the spring rolls, blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain well and cut into fine julienne strips.
- Blanch the carrot in boiling water for 15 seconds, drain and refresh under cold running water.
- Place the snow peas, carrots, shrimp, crab meat, rice, jalapeno, garlic and ginger in a large bowl and toss. Add the lemon zest and juice and salt and toss to combine.
- Lay a large, clean cotton cloth or apron on a work surface. You will need 16 sheets of rice paper; discard any sheets that are cracked or have holes. Dip 1 sheet of rice paper in a bowl of warm water until it is pliable, about 15 seconds. Place on the cloth. Repeat with 3 more sheets of rice paper.
- Start with the first sheet of soaked rice paper and place 1/4 cup of the filling in a mound in the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then the ends, making a square package. Place the spring roll on a platter or in a shallow baking dish. Repeat until the filling is used. Cover with a damp cloth until ready to serve.
- To make the sauce, combine the sugar, nuoc mam, vinegar and water in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir just until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a bowl and set aside at room temperature. (The rolls and sauce can be made several hours ahead.)
- To serve, spoon enough sauce onto 8 salad plates to cover just the bottom of the plate. Place 2 spring rolls in the center of each plate, turning them once in the sauce. Surround with the mesclun and then the mint leaves. Serve.
