Fill a large, shallow baking dish with water. Place 1
rice-paper round in the water and soak until pliable,
about 30 seconds. Carefully transfer the wrapper to the
towel and turn once to blot dry. Arrange 1/4 of the spinach,
cucumber, carrot, cucumber and surimi in wraper lengthwise.
Fold the bottom edge toward the center and roll up
the wrapper halfway, making sure to wrap tightly around
the filling. Tuck 2 basil leaf halves along the inside
crease of the half-rolled wrapper. Fold the right and
left edges of the wrapper over the filling and finish
rolling up. Repeat with the remaining wrappers. Transfer
the rolls to a plate and cover with dampened paper towels.
To serve, cut the rolls in half on the diagonal and
place on small individual plates. Serve with your favorite
sauce.
* Variation: try using 1/2 surimi and 1/2 cooked cooled
shrimp, split in half
