At least, I've always heard them called Vietnamese spring rolls, they are also known as fresh spring rolls, Vietnamese salad rolls, and sometimes summer rolls. They look very pretty and are really not so difficult to make. Ingredients vary based on what you want/like. My friend made vegetarian rolls, using vegetables she had on hand. I made mine with chicken. They make a great meal and can either be pre-made, or you can have your guests make them for themselves. It would be really fun to have a roll making party, and everyone can put in or leave out whatever they want.
My friend generously gave me the rest of the rice paper and rice vermicelli that she had left over, so I decided that tonight was Spring Roll night. Really, the only mandatory ingredient is the rice paper, everything else is up to your taste and what you want to put in, quantities are also flexible for whatever size group you have.
