summer in your hand: basil rolls

Rolls are pictured with Trader Joe's shrimp gyoza

I have loved basil rolls ever since having them at my favorite Thai restaurant in Georgia many years ago, but I'd never attempted to replicate them until yesterday. The herbs and cucumber give the dish such a fantastic crisp and bright taste. I've eaten the Trader Joe's version a few times lately and decided I must be able to make them at home for cheaper than $4 a pop. Verdict? Delicious and refreshing! But a tad fussy, which is kind of what I was expecting.
