Cover and chill the remaining sauce until ready to use. To assemble, pour warm water into a pie plate. Carefully dip a rice paper into the water then transfer to a clean kitchen towel. Let stand a few seconds the place a parsley sprig int he center of the paper. Spoon about 1/3 cup vegetable mixture just below the center. Tightly roll up the rice paper from bottom, tucking in one side as you roll. Repeat until you have made the six spring rolls. Serve with the remaining sauce.
