Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls

The most delicious way to eat raw veggies as far as I'm concerned!  My friend Mika taught me how to make these.
Ingredients:
Spring roll wrappers (The dry ones, not the fridge/freezer ones. 
I had to go to the international market to get these)
Filling:
Green onions
Fresh Basil
Then any raw veggies you want like:
Spinach
Carrots
Green Pepper
Grilled Tofu

Dipping Sauce:
Peanut Butter
Soy Sauce
Chili Sauce
Lime Juice
Brown Sugar
Water

Stir up the dipping sauce.  Slowly stir in some water (about 1/8 cup) to peanut butter (1/3 cup) till thinner.  Add a little bit (1 Tbl?) of brown sugar (if using unsweetened peanut butter), about 2 Tbl soy sauce, 2 tsp. chili sauce, and a squirt of lime juice.
Put a little bit of water on a plate or dish.  Put a dry wrap in water for 5 seconds, then flip over and put in water for 3 more seconds.  The wrap will start to be pliable.  Place on another plate, add some filling including a little bit of green onion and basil in each wrap.  Fold in ends and roll up.  Enjoy with dipping sauce.
