⭐ How to store, reheat, and freeze

  • Leftover spring rolls should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
  • Reheat - To reheat, wrap a few spring rolls in damp paper towels and place them on a plate. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until warm.
  • Freezing - I don't recommend freezing these spring rolls, as they become soggy and won’t have the same crunch.

  • For more of a spring roll-friendly sauce, add 1-2 Tablespoons of water.
  • You don’t have to be exact with what toppings you include-- do whatever you like.
  • If needed, for the dipping sauce, add water to thin to your desired consistency.

📋 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the secret to rolling the spring rolls?

The secret to rolling is all about using the right amount of filling and making sure the wrapper isn't too wet. Take your time when wrapping, gently pressing the edges together before you roll it up tightly.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the rolls ahead of time, then wrap them in parchment paper and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

What should I serve with these spring rolls?

These tasty treats are delicious and should be served with our peanut soy dipping sauce, or even an easy sweet and sour sauce. They would also be great as part of a summery meal, along with some grilled vegetables or protein.
