- Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and sriracha sauce to make the dipping sauce.
- Serve the spring rolls with the dipping sauce on the side, and garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.

Fresh spring rolls, also known as Vietnamese spring rolls or summer rolls, have a rich history dating back to ancient Vietnam. These delectable rolls are believed to have originated in the Mekong Delta region, where fresh herbs and vegetables were abundant. The dish gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, during the Vietnam War, when it was introduced to the world by Vietnamese chefs and refugees. Today, fresh spring rolls are enjoyed globally for their light and refreshing flavors. Notable variations include the use of shrimp, pork, or tofu as fillings, and they are often served with a savory peanut or hoisin dipping sauce. For the best fresh spring rolls, visit reputable Vietnamese restaurants or try making them at home with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the delicate balance of textures and flavors, as well as the artful assembly of the rolls.
