COLD VEGETARIAN SPRING ROLLS
After trying several recipes for vegetarian spring rolls (all good) I came up with this combination that I like best. Although they're at their very best fresh, they also keep and pack well, making this a nice alternative to packing a salad for lunch. I also like to add cooked shrimp or fake crab to these - but then, of course, they aren't vegetarian anymore.

Steps:
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add all vegetables and the chopped cilantro. Toss thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Let set 10-15 minutes for flavors to blend.
- Soak one rice paper at a time in water until softened. Place on clean towel, and put 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the vege mixture about 2" from the lower edge of the rice paper.
- Fold the lower edge up to cover the filling. Fold in the sides, and roll up gently. A pretty touch is to sprinkle the upper half of the rice paper with the whole cilantro leaves prior to completing the wrap - they show through the rice paper and are very decorative. Place on a plate, seam down, and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Serve with a sauce of your choice. Use the same ingredients as the dressing if you like, or experiment with mustard or plum sauce. I like the lighter combinations better with these rolls. Even commercial Chinese salad dressing works in a pinch.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the water.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the egg and water. Mix well. If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes.
- Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch squares. Cut each into nine 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch squares. Use in any recipe that calls for wonton wrappers.

Tips:
- Make sure to use the right kind of flour. All-purpose flour is the best choice for wonton wrappers. Avoid using bread flour or cake flour, as they will not produce the same results.
- The dough should be smooth and elastic. If it is too dry, add a little more water. If it is too wet, add a little more flour.
- Roll out the dough as thinly as possible. The thinner the dough, the better the wontons will be.
- When cooking the wontons, do not overcrowd the pot. Cook them in batches so that they have enough room to float around and cook evenly.
- Serve the wontons immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Homemade wonton wrappers are a delicious and versatile addition to any Asian-inspired meal. They can be used to make wonton soup, dumplings, potstickers, and spring rolls. With a little practice, you can easily make your own wonton wrappers at home. So next time you are craving wontons, give this recipe a try!
