- 3. Fold the bottom of the rice paper up over the veggies. Fold in the sides, then roll up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve the rolls on a platter with Spiced Chili Sauce. (If you prefer to prepare the rolls in advance, cover them with a damp kitchen towel for up to 3 hours.)

Steps:
- Soak 6 Thai rice paper wrappers (available in the Asian aisle of most supermarkets) in warm water until soft, about 10 seconds. Lay them flat on your work surface and top each with 1 large cooked cocktail shrimp (about 1 ounce), 2 cucumber slices, 2 tablespoons shredded carrot, 1 tablespoon minced scallion (green part only), and 1/2 teaspoon hoisin sauce. Roll to seal in the filling; serve immediately or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Serving size: 3 rolls POINTS value: 4
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Finely chop the vegetables, herbs, and tofu, and have your rice paper wrappers ready to go. This will make the assembly process much quicker and easier.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more colorful, the better! Some good options include carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, bell peppers, and avocado.
- Don't overstuff your rolls: You want to be able to roll them up tightly without them falling apart. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per roll.
- Roll them up tightly: Use your fingers to tightly roll up the rice paper wrappers, starting from one corner and working your way to the opposite corner. Make sure the filling is evenly distributed.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include peanut sauce, sweet chili sauce, or hoisin sauce.
Conclusion:
Thai summer rolls are a delicious, refreshing, and healthy appetizer or light meal. They're perfect for a party or potluck, and they're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little practice, you'll be able to roll them up like a pro!
