This recipe was very heavily adapted from a recipe by Curtis Aikens I found on the Food Network site and from my memory of the most delicious vegetarian spring rolls ever, I had at Trader Joe’s in Los Angeles. I know, I know, not the most glamorous or exotic of places to experience a vegetarian spring roll – but it was actually quite delicious and has been sitting in my mind ever since. <br /> <br />Curtis’ original Spring Roll recipe called for carrots, sprouts, napa cabbage and red peppers. I kept the carrots and napa cabbage but substituted cucumber, chives and cilantro for the other ingredients. He advised to leave the filling dry; I have added a little olive oil and soy sauce to add a little depth of flavor. <br /> <br />The Asian chile dipping sauce is my own creation from memory of that delicious little tidbit of dipping sauce in the tiny plastic tub I got at Trader Joe’s. Enjoy! <br />
