These are very fresh tasting, light and yummy. Just like the Vietnamese rolls served at our local chinese bakery (except our bakery also adds a layer of pate). Perfect for our hot weather picnic. Instead of chicken I used chinese BBQ pork and I also added some mint leaves. You definitely must serve this with Pickled Carrot & Radish Recipe #126799 which does needs 2 hours to marinate. Thanks for posting a fabulous recipe.
