After I made my rolls, I did have issues with them sticking together, anyone have advice on how to keep the rice paper from sticking?
Summer Rolls

8 rice paper wrappers
1 oz. rice noodles, cooked

Dip wrappers one by one in a bowl of warm water.

Normally when I make these for myself and hubby I usually don't care too much about them sticking. However, I've made them for parties before and then it bothers me. What I did last time was rub a tiny amount of oil on the outside. I just used canola, but I assume you could use anything. It worked really well for the party, but it's not worth the calories for me on an everyday basis.
Mmmm. I love summer rolls. They are one of my favorite things to order at vietnamese restaurants. I also recently took down an amazing sounding recipe for Artichoke, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Spring Rolls from The Cheese Lover's Cookbook. I'm thinking these may have to be on the menu next week. It's the first time I have seen more of a fusion approach to a fresh roll.
You would have loved to watch me try and make these rolls. Somehow I skipped the part where you dip the rice paper in water. That first roll didn't turn out so hot! Live and learn. Haha.
