• Veggies: The veggies included in this recipe are traditionally part of a spring roll. However, if one or more isn't your jam, you could substitute for a veggie you do like. Sweet potato, broccoli, even zucchini would taste great here.

• Soy Sauce: If you are gluten-free, you can substitute coconut aminos in place of soy sauce.
