With the arrival of the beautiful sun of June, I propose to make spring roll wrappers full of flavor and freshness.
Feel free to add pre-cooked chicken breast or ground pork with lemon grass.
To avoid the bending of a spring roll, you must blanch the soy for a few seconds in boiling water, then refresh it in ice water. Do the same with the carrots, so you’ll avoid tearing the rice sheets.

Shell the shrimps and cut them in half lengthwise.

Blanch the bean sprouts, cool them, and mix them in a bowl with the carrots, celery, and a tablespoon of soy sauce.
Blanch watercress (2 minutes) in boiling water with a tablespoon of coarse salt and then cool it in iced water, press to drain well.
