Spring Rolls are super light, crispy and tender appetizer cousin of the traditional egg roll.
Spring Rolls? Are those just vegetarian egg rolls? NOPE. Spring Rolls are the best, way better than an egg roll. Why? The super thin, crispy wrapper that basically shatters when you bite into it.
This isn’t an egg roll. This is miles better, less chewy, more crispy and light. Less oil seeping into the wrapper. Spring Rolls are easy to make and since your filling is already fully cooked you only have to fry them long enough to cook the spring roll wrappers to a perfect golden brown.
Use spring roll wrappers. These are thinner than traditional egg roll wrappers so please don’t substitute anything else for them. If you can’t find them at your local grocer try an ethnic grocery store instead.
Do not overfill the rolls, I use about two tablespoons of filling and this keeps them thin enough to fry well even from frozen.
Freeze the filled rolls in a single layer until frozen so they don’t stick together. This will prevent the seal from breaking when you try to fry them individually.
You can fill the spring roll wrappers with anything you’d like. I filled these with a traditional classic Pakistani style vegetable and chicken filling but vegetarian or even a shrimp filling would be amazing!
