East meets West in this delightful appetizer! Be sure not to overly saturate the rice paper. When you see the rice paper look almost "transparent," it's time to remove it from the liquid. Stuff, roll, wrap, and devour!

4 6-inch round sheet rice paper
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger peeled and grated
