I am anxious to try this recipe. I did recently purchase what said to be rice roll wrappers, but don't look anything close to what I have seen in these pictures. They look dry and brittle. Unfortunately for the poor student, I will be cutting all the vegetables by hand. I am curious on the details of the mentioned book. I will be checking it out at my local book giant. Will let ya know how it turned out. John you can still use rice wrappers and fry them or use them like this: Vietnamese Summer Rolls ~jaden

my favorite fillings are shrimp (grills if possible) and ground chicken with carrots, shitake mushroom and some herb.

This recipe is awsome for my son’s and his beautiful bride’s upcoming wedding. I was looking for a recipe for some Asian appetizers to make, to honor the part Vietnameze heritage of my future daughter in law. It’s funny her maternal grandfather’s last name was Nguyen, they were in Vietnam searching for long lost relatives this summer…sad story, very difficult to find any information, as they tell me the last name Nguyen is very common in Vietnam because of the Nguyen dynasty.
Thanks to you and Pauline for this wondrful recipe, aand if I can’t win the book I will definetely buy it, I know it will make a very nice gift

Love the pork and shittake mushroom combo, all minced together. Just like I had them when I went to Vietnam this fall!
