4. Fold the sides of the wrapper inwards, then tightly roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Tip/s: 

• Use a combination of fresh vegetables and herbs in making the rolls such as  cucumber, red radish, bean sprouts, bell peppers, zucchini, shredded cabbage, leeks, and mint leaves.
• Do not over soak rice papers in water as it will become soggy and sticky.
• Space assembled spring rolls apart to prevent from sticking to each other. 
• Hoisin from scratch (about 1/2 cup): 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp peanut butter or black bean paste, 1 tbsp brown sugar, honey or molasses, 2 tsp rice wine or white wine vinegar, 2 tsp sesame oil, 1 clove garlic minced or 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp ground black pepper, 1 tsp hot sauce
