Spring Rolls with Ground Chicken and Mushrooms
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. Spring rolls are very popular in the United States — there they are served with all kinds of fillings about as often as we serve pancakes. To make them, you need almost nothing — just buy ready-made rice paper (making it yourself at home is hardly feasible). You can fill them with pretty much anything, but my favorite is this version — spring rolls with ground chicken and mushrooms. Hope you like them too ;) They can be served warm or chilled.
