Steps:
- Have all your ingredients prepared and ready to go before you start assembling the rolls. Dip a spring roll wrapper into a shallow bowl of water until it just softens (don't leave it too long or you'll be left with a gluey mess). Put the wet wrapper on a chopping board, then top with a couple of mint and basil leaves (if using), and some spring onion, courgette, carrot, mango, chilli and peanuts (if using).
- Starting with the edge nearest to you, fold the wrapper into the centre so that it covers half the filling. Fold in both of the shorter ends, then, rolling away from you, fold the wrapper over so that the entire filling is encased. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings to make 12 spring rolls. Can be made in the morning and kept in the fridge for later.
- To serve, cut the spring rolls in half on the diagonal. Serve with sweet chilli dipping sauce on the side.

SWEET AND SOUR CURRY SPRING ROLLS
Steps:
- Shell and de-vein shrimp, and put into food processor. Add minced meat, finely chopped scallions, finely chopped red pepper, finely chopped mushrooms, grated ginger, chopped water chestnuts, shredded cabbage, sherry, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, salt, curry powder, molasses, chili powder and process slowly only until shrimp is coarsely chopped in the food processor and watching closely not to over process shrimp. In a wok, or heated saute pan, add tablespoon of oil and saute mixture until 3/4 cooked, on high heat about 3 to 4 minutes, tossing mixture around in pan constantly.
- Prepare work area. Clean a surface and place bowl of water with cornflour mixed in, damp towel, spring roll wrappers, and partially cooked turkey mixture in work area. Start wrapping spring rolls by placing one wrapper at a time down on flat surface in at a diamond angle to you. Fill about 2 tablespoons of mixture starting a little above the bottom point of the wrapper. Dip fingers in the water bowl and moisten the top and sides of the wrapper. Start at the bottom tip and fold wrapper over turkey mix, rolling the mix into the wrapper half way. Then fold sides inward and continue rolling, sealing with more water if necessary on top. Continue to fold one at a time, keeping the finished ones moist under the moist clean towel (the towel should not be dripping wet, just moist to the touch).
- Time to Fry! In a deep frying pot, fill halfway with corn or vegetable oil. Heat until when wood chopsticks are placed in to touch the bottom, there are fast streams of bubbles streaming to the top (yes, that's the way my mother taught me!). Very important: before placing spring rolls in oil, make sure they are dry on the outside (if your towel was too damp, you must dry off the rolls in paper towel first, otherwise the oil will pop). Place spring rolls in a few at a time making sure to keep them separated while frying. If the oil is too hot, the outside will cook too quickly, leaving the inside undercooked -- adjust the temperature so that each spring roll takes about 5 to 7 minutes each to cook through and are golden brown. Drain and serve immediately.
- Excellent when served with your favorite dipping sauce. Try a sweeter sauce with spring rolls such as a plum or duck sauce.

Tips:
- Use fresh, colorful vegetables: The beauty of rainbow spring rolls lies in their vibrant colors, so opt for fresh vegetables that are at their peak. Colorful options like red cabbage, orange carrots, yellow bell peppers, and green cucumbers will make your rolls visually appealing.
- Cut vegetables into matchsticks: Cutting the vegetables into thin, uniform matchsticks ensures that they cook evenly and roll up nicely. Use a sharp knife or mandoline for precise cuts.
- Soak rice paper wrappers properly: Rice paper wrappers need to be soaked briefly in warm water to soften them before use. Dip each wrapper in water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable, but not too soft that it tears easily.
- Arrange vegetables neatly: When assembling the rolls, arrange the vegetables in a single layer across the bottom third of the wrapper. This allows for even distribution and makes rolling easier.
- Roll tightly: Start by folding the bottom edge of the wrapper over the vegetables. Then, fold the sides inward and continue rolling until you reach the top. Make sure to roll tightly to prevent the rolls from falling apart.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce: Sweet and sour sauce is the classic dipping sauce for rainbow spring rolls. It provides a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and sour flavors that complement the fresh vegetables.
Conclusion:
Rainbow spring rolls are a delicious, healthy, and visually stunning appetizer or light meal. With their vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, they're sure to impress your guests at any gathering. The combination of fresh vegetables, rice paper wrappers, and sweet and sour sauce creates a culinary experience that's both satisfying and guilt-free.
