Treat your ingredients with care...
- Rice paper wrappers — Ensure the water used for soaking the wrappers is warm, but not too hot, to prevent them from becoming too sticky or tearing.
- Vermicelli noodles — Cook according to package instructions and rinse with cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
- Fresh herbs — Use a combination of herbs like mint, basil, tarragon, or chervil to add a French twist to the spring rolls.
Tips & Tricks
- To add a French touch, consider adding a sprinkle of Herbes de Provence to the filling mixture.
- For a lighter version, you can omit the shrimp and chicken and focus on a vegetable-based filling.
- If you prefer a warm spring roll, lightly sauté the filling ingredients before wrapping them in the rice paper.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces such as a tangy Dijon mustard or a zesty lemon vinaigrette.
- To make the spring rolls ahead of time, cover them with a damp paper towel and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Serve the Délicieux Rouleaux de Printemps as an appetizer or light lunch. Arrange them on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs and edible flowers for an elegant presentation. Encourage guests to dip the spring rolls in the French mustard or light vinaigrette for a burst of flavor.
