CAMBODIAN SUMMER ROLLS AND DIPPING SAUCE
I like these summer rolls as they are a great alternative to deep-fried egg rolls. They also make a great side for any Asian dish. I also like that they are easy to make and don't take much time. I didn't make any changes to the recipe, however next time I think I will put a little less fresh mint in the rolls. I just felt that the mint was too over powering, but besides that they taste great!!

Tips:
- To make the perfect rice paper roll, use fresh, high-quality rice paper wrappers. If the wrappers are too dry, they will crack when you try to roll them. - Dip the rice paper wrappers in warm water for a few seconds before rolling. This will make them pliable and easy to work with. - Don't overload the rolls with fillings. Too much filling will make them difficult to roll and eat. - For a vegetarian version of the rolls, omit the shrimp and chicken. You can add more vegetables, such as cucumber, avocado, or bell pepper. - Serve the rolls with a dipping sauce of your choice. Popular options include peanut sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and hoisin sauce.Conclusion:
Cambodian summer rolls are a delicious and refreshing appetizer or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fillings and dipping sauces to choose from, there is a Cambodian summer roll for everyone. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give Cambodian summer rolls a try.
