Crunchy Veggie Rice Paper Wraps image

I just threw this together for an appetizer and they turned out as very tasty wraps - lots of crunch and peppy with the sweet chili sauce . It can be vegetarian by leaving out the crab or shrimp- still tasty. These may also be served as a side dish or as a course with an Oriental meal. I usually make the filling early in the day and roll the wraps within an hour or two before serving keep cool if you do these ahead. This recipe was inspired by recipe#64698 Vietnamese Soft Rolls with Crab by SueL There is a tutorial on making Spring rolls at this link: http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=224922
