There was a time when a recipe like this would require a dedicated search for ingredients from your local Asian market. Fortunately, as grocery store chains have embraced a more global selection, all it takes is a trip to the Asian foods aisle to get wheat-free tamari, rice vinegar, and rice spring roll wrappers.
These wraps are so tasty and healthy, and they come together easily – especially with shortcuts like buying pre-cooked beets and shrimp. The fresh mint and basil are essential, so don’t miss out on their crunch and aromatic flavor.
One final tip: Be sure you have all your ingredients prepared and within easy reach before you dampen the spring roll wrappers.
