Vietnamese Shrimp Rolls are a traditional Vietnamese dish that is popular both as a street food and a healthy appetizer.

This dish is often served with a sweet chili dipping sauce that adds a nice contrast to the savory filling of the rolls. These rolls are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried appetizers.

4.Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling and tuck it in tightly. Fold the sides towards the center and then roll up tightly.
5.In a small bowl, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, hot water, sugar, lime juice, garlic, sambal oelek, grated carrots, and grated daikon radishes to make the dipping sauce.
