Lemon Grass and Chicken Summer Rolls

"These were well worth the effort. I added extra basil, cilantro, lemongrass, and crushed red chili. I mixed everything together and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the flavors b..." See morelend. I didn't have any mint and I could tell that was missing.

They sat in the fridge like that until I sliced them in half for serving. "
