Summer Rolls are easy and fun to make, so refreshing. This is inspired by Vietnamese summer rolls I often had at the restaurants. I made two versions of vegetarian rolls, tofu and avocado. You can always incorporate other protein like shrimp. The sauce is the key, sweet and savory. The portion I make here is for 6 rolls. You may refrigerate the leftovers for 1 to 2 days. Enjoy!
