Fresh spring rolls, also sometimes called summer rolls or salad rolls, make a delicious snack or appetizer any time of year. You’ve likely seen the rice paper-wrapped rolls at Southeast Asian restaurants, or picked up premade ones at the grocery store\u2014but it’s also easy to make your own spring rolls at home! They’re endlessly customizable and pair well with different types of dipping sauce.<\/p>\n
Originating in Southeast Asia, this variety of spring roll is a popular dish made with fresh vegetables wrapped in rice paper. Not to be confused with crispy, deep-fried egg rolls, these uncooked spring rolls have translucent wrappers, so you can take a peek at the colorful ingredients inside. (Here’s more about the difference between egg rolls and spring rolls<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Spring rolls are usually filled with fresh vegetables and thin rice noodles, and often include shrimp, tofu or meat and fresh herbs. Typically served cold alongside a dipping sauce, they’re a crunchy appetizer or a light main dish.<\/p>\n Use a chef’s knife or mandoline slicer<\/a> to julienne the vegetables (this technique makes the pieces small enough to fit in your roll and ensures that you get a bit of everything in each bite). Roughly chop the dried cherries, and dice the pork into tiny cubes. When the rice paper has softened, layer a quarter cup of the pork and vegetable filling, along with a sprinkling of almonds and peas, in a strip across the bottom third of the wrapper. Leave some room at the edges.<\/p>\n Fold both ends of the wrapper inward. Then, fold the bottom edge over the filling. Roll it up tightly and place it on your serving plate with the seam side down. Repeat, starting with step 2, until you’ve used up all of the filling.<\/p>\n Test Kitchen Tip<\/i>: If your spring roll feels sticky, don’t stress! Spring rolls are meant to have a soft and slightly sticky texture.<\/p>\n Now that you know the basics of how to make a fresh spring roll, it’s time to tweak the recipe to your liking. Got a bumper crop of cilantro or basil? Toss it into the mix. Prefer a different protein like shrimp, chicken or tofu? Swap it in for the pork. Or go classic by adding cooked vermicelli (thin rice noodles).<\/p>\n Bell pepper strips, bean sprouts, thinly sliced red cabbage and fresh jalapeno slices are other types of produce that would be perfect tucked into a rice paper wrapper. No matter what you choose, the key is to fill each roll with about 1\/3 cup of filling.<\/p>\n For more inspiration, try these fresh spring roll variations:<\/p>\n Spring roll wrappers are available at many grocery stores. They’re often in the international aisle and come dried in a package. If you don’t have rice paper wrappers, you could use lettuce to make lettuce wraps<\/a>.<\/p>\n Spring rolls make the perfect cold appetizer<\/a> for a gathering or a fresh side dish to any of these Thai recipes<\/a>. You can also make spring rolls a meal by pairing them with one of these Asian-inspired soups<\/a> or healthy salads<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn how to make rice paper-wrapped spring rolls that are fresh, crunchy and delicious.

\nSpring rolls are best when they’re fresh. If you have leftovers, they will last for three to four days in an airtight container in the fridge\u2014although the rice paper may get a little soggy with time. Regardless, the spring rolls tend to stick together if they’re touching, so space them out in the container to prevent the rice paper from ripping when you take them out.
\nIf you want to make spring rolls ahead of time, prep the filling the night before, and then wrap and serve them the next day.<\/p>\nTips for Making Spring Rolls<\/h2>\n
