Spring Rolls

Spring Spring Rolls (Vietnamese)

This crazy late night idea probably came from some strange, impromptu desire to impress someone - and really it turned mostly into a satisfying personal experience in which I was able to improve my rolling skills. One needs to have decent dexterity to roll things in general, be it those backwards -flaming-rolling-paper-type cigarettes that the Swiss are so good at rolling, hangover-destroying Watsonville pulled pork and steak burritos that the guys at Uncle Moe's are so damn efficient at making or just  your run of the mill, Wednesday night nonsensical, labor intensive, but weirdly relaxing rice paper spring roll project.

It's important to feel inspired when shopping for this, and just about any ingredient can be put in this. Hell, stray away from the Vietnamese flavors and go for New Orleans flavors like andouille sausage, or Jamaican flavors, or go strictly seafood even. Its the same principle that governs this site: use your mind power to imagine flavor pairings, and then go boldly without worrying about screwing up.
