this marinade is delicious. i had to modify a bit since i didnt have coke, but since coke is a tenderizer with some sugar i replaced it with a bit more vinegar and 1.5 tablespoons of sugar. it tastes a bit like the sauce you get from chinese restaurants that comes with pot stickers.

These look wonderful !! I'll try them as soon as I can get the wrappers. Maybe the addition of some chopped spring onion would be good for the filling also. One question, Can these be deep fried? I think they would make an extra tasty crunchy appetizer !! Especially with the dipping sauce !! Now I really am hungry. Thanks for this recipe !

Apologies for taking so long to respond to this comment. I love the idea of adding spring onions. I have never tried deep frying rice wrappers, but spring roll wrappers fry very well. If you try deep frying the rice wrappers, please let us know how they turned out!

cheese1227: Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments on the recipe. I agree that two wrappers is too thick. And have also been considering the addition of chives or some other herb to the spring rolls themselves. Plus I think that it's better to make them about 2/3 the size of the rolls in the picture. I'll make some tweaks then update this recipe soon.

These look like the perfect summer dish - such beautiful presentation! Can you tell me what a maifun rice stick is?

:) Maifun is a very thin--similar to cappellini--rice noodle that is popular in Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. It's available at Trader Joe's and many grocery stores.

This looks great for summer- one question: what is Mexi Coke?

Mexi Coke is the colloquial name for Mexican Coke which is Coca-Cola bottled for Mexico. It uses cane sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup used for Coke in the US. It's readily available at most supermarkets here in LA as it gains popularity. Regular coke works just as well. Kiwi, pears, sugar and brown sugar are widely used in Korean kitchens as tenderizer/ sweeteners.
