Cole had a blast helping me make the rolls. He was in charge of dipping the rice paper in water for me, and he was really good at it! The kids found them kind of hard to eat as rolls, so I cut them up and poured peanut sauce over top. Then they liked them a lot. I also enjoyed them, and had the leftovers for lunch for the next few days. I offered some to Tony but he wasn’t interested. I guess he doesn’t like spring rolls? Oh well. I was happy with how easy they were to make and I’d definitely make them again, if only for me to have in lunches. You can eat them warm or cold, however you like. I preferred them warm but if you’re eating them on the go with no microwave around they’re still might tasty that way too.
