Vietnamese-Style Summer Rolls

Pretty and Delish!!
(serves 4

2 T. fish sauce
3 T. freshly squeezed* lime juice
2 T. water
2 cups shredded rotisserie* chicken
2 mangos, peeled, pitted, cut into small cubes (I would used "champagne" mangoes*)
1 English or Persian* cucumber, peeled, and cut into small cubes
2 T. chopped fresh mint (lime mint*, if you can find it)
4 scallions, white and light green parts, chopped
2 t. chopped fresh cilantro
12 8" round rice paper wrappers
Ponzu Citrus Sauce*, for dipping

In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and 2 T. water until sugar has dissolved. To make the filling, combine chicken, mangoes, cucumber, mint, scallions, and cilantro in a large bowl. Fill a baking pan halfway with cold water. Lay a clean kitchen towel on a countertop. Dip 1 rice-paper wrapper in water until pliable, 15-20 secs. Remove wrapper and shake off excess water. Lay wrapper flat on towel. place about 1/2 cup of the filling in middle of wrapper, leaving a 1" border on bottom and sides. Fold 1" of bottom and 1" of sides toward center of round, then roll up tightly. Place rolls on a platter, seam side down. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining rolls and filling ingredients. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
