Add protein: Toss in tofu, shredded chicken, or shrimp to the filling for a more substantial bite.
Baked version: Brush rolls lightly with oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Spicy kick: Add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha to the filling for heat.
Rice paper wraps: For a gluten-free version, use rice paper wrappers and skip the homemade dough.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I freeze the spring rolls?
Yes! You can freeze the uncooked, rolled spring rolls on a tray, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Fry them directly from frozen—no need to thaw.
2. Why did my wrappers tear while rolling?
If the wrappers are tearing, they may be too dry or too thick. Make sure the batter is thin enough and the wrappers don’t overcook in the pan.
3. Can I use pre-made wrappers instead?
Absolutely. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought spring roll wrappers. However, the homemade version adds an authentic and fresh touch.
