My first attempts at wrapping Nem cuốn (Vietnamese Fresh Springroll)

I have eaten Vietnamese fresh spring rolls on a couple of occasions before, but earlier today, I had my first hand experience at wrapping it myself before consumption!

I started off with a piece of rice paper. It looks and feels like a piece of plastic initially, but after wetting the whole piece in water, it becomes soft and sticky.

Next, this is the time where you will choose and put whatever you want to eat from a selections of ingredients onto the wet rice paper. This was what I added...
Next, just roll the whole thing up very carefully..see below for my first roll..very healthy looking!

After rolling it up, dip it in a fish sauce mixture and it is ready to eat..After the first roll, I was hoping to make further improvements to my wrapping skill, so I kept rolling..

And rolling..

..and rolling...

..I wanted to make it look more delicious and at the same time, improve my wrapping skills..

This was the last roll I ate for tonight..do you think it's better than the first one I rolled?

No matter what, I really enjoyed my dinner this evening! Special thanks to all the people who made this possible! Thank you my friends!:  Cảm ơn bạn bè của tôi
