You did such a wonderful job of explaining everything so completely . Thanks

[BBaxterSwank]

Thank you for explaining how to rehydrate the rice paper and store the rolls. This was helpful. Rice papers are a great way to turn leftovers into a ‘fancy’ meal and good way to present all types of cooked vegetables. Now I know how to handle & roll them correctly.

Thank you so much for this well-presented and patient tutorial on how to make one of my favourite things to eat! Unless I make them myself I have no access to such a meal any more but now, thanks to you, I'll be able to make them --- all the goods can be delivered to me so I now look forward to munching on these fresh and fragrant goodies! ♥

Thank you for this video. I was simply looking to find out how to rehydrate the wrappers without making a mess and found this very informative and excellent video.

I can tell how you completely explain everything from beginning to end, that you and I would work well together. If you work smart things go smoothly and there’s more time for doing the fun stuff with loved ones.
