Instructions
Prep all veggies by thinly slicing cabbage and cucumber and shredding carrots.
Start by dunking rice paper into a plate of water (I find that a large pie pan works great for this) leave rice paper in the water for only a few seconds, paper will soften as you assemble the roll.
Add a small handful of cabbage and carrots, then add a few pieces of the cucumber. Add any desired additions to roll now along with torn herbs. See notes for suggestions.
Rice paper should be pretty pliable by now, roll tightly and tuck in edges.
In small saucepan combine all sauce ingredients on medium-low heat until smooth. Chill and serve with spring rolls.
