These spring rolls were easy to make and they turned out great! I used a variety of vegetables in the filling and they were all cooked perfectly. The dipping sauce was also delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of spring rolls, but I thought I'd give these a try. I was pleasantly surprised! They were really good. The wrappers were thin and crispy and the filling was flavorful. I especially liked the dipping sauce.

These spring rolls were good, but not great. The flavors were a bit bland and the wrappers were a little too thick. I would have liked more vegetables in the filling and a more flavorful dipping sauce.
