Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Spring rolls

    • Rinshin on October 22, 2016

      Used ground pork for pork shoulder and bay scallops for shrimp. I normally don't care too much for carrots in spring rolls, but I did add according to this recipe. The recipe itself is easy to put together and produces good quality spring rolls. It's not the best tasting spring rolls I've made or eaten, but it uses all the ingredients readily found in American markets.
