This is a fantastic recipe. The dipping some is outstanding and certainly compliments the vegetable rice paper rolls. I just adore these types of meals where you have the tantalizing taste of sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Marriage made in food heaven this recipe is. We will be making this meal often. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.

Just made the rolls...made my own peanut butter dipping sauce. Wish I had more direction about how to work with the rice paper...mine kind of fell apart and looked bad. I would also add cilantro next time.
