Spring Rolls

Although it says "Spring Rolls" my mom says that it's usually a summer time food. It's very refreshing and it's similar to egg rolls. I chose this food because all my other food were grilled, fried, or cooked. This food is fresh and hand rolled. It contains, a rice wrapping, vermicelli (rice noodles), shrimp, beef, basil, mint leaves and many more. It is then made in a sauce, a thick like substance sauce. It has peanut butter, hoisin sauce, sugar, and a bit of water. My family usually makes this during the summer time when it gets to hot. The taste does not feel heavy when you consume it. The sensation when you eat it is phenomenal when you are hungry.
What people do not know about it is that the actual insides is just a variety to egg roll. There is more than just spring rolls. But I will not get into that this time (maybe another time). If you want to try spring rolls, it is usually sold in a Vietnamese restaurant. Spring rolls can be either categorized as appetizers or an entrée. This food is considered to be healthy because it is low on fat and calories. I hope you guys learned a bit or a lot more about spring rolls.  *These pictures and information I used were from http://whatscookingamerica.net/Appetizers/SpringRolls.htm & http://www.digsmagazine.com*
