I've frequently made spring rolls this summer, but when the heat finally hit here in mid July, I just couldn't bear to cook, so we started to make those south Asian style like in Vietnamese or Siamese or Thai restaurants.
I even made my own peanut sauces sometimes, or ate them with salad dressing like vinaigrette.
I've stuffed them with anything from lettuce, to green, to bean sprouts, to avocado, guacamole, tomatoes, tomotilloes, onion, scallions, bell peppers, pickles, cucumbers, carrots, and pickled beats.
I saw these willow wreathes at the dollar store a few weeks ago, so I got one!
I already made a dreamcatcher from scratch from grapevines last month, so I wanted to try one of these and do something similar.
It's made with a number of items from my old store I used to have, especially Buddhist mala beads and jade from China, and the medallion, which was a popular one we sold back then.
This project actually came together rather fast, compared to my other dreamcatcher I made. However, it still took several hours worth of prep and hand work.
