Most people think of spring rolls as being something that’s difficult to make, but they’re actually quite easy! And, since they freeze so well, you can always have a few on hand for a quick and easy meal.
Spring rolls are traditionally made with rice paper wrappers, which can be found in the international aisle of most supermarkets. They’re filled with a variety of ingredients, including veggies, noodles, and sometimes meat or seafood. Then, they’re fried or baked until crispy.
If you’re short on time, you can also find pre-made spring rolls at many Asian markets. However, they’re usually not as fresh as homemade ones, and they often contain more preservatives and additives.
Whether you make them yourself or buy them pre-made, spring rolls are a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed any time of year!

Secondly, the ingredients are simple and easy to find, so you don’t have to go out of your way to make this dish. Lastly, this dish is healthy and light, so you can feel good about eating it.
Tips:
1. Make sure the spring rolls are tightly wrapped so they don’t fall apart when frying.
2. If you’re using store-bought wrappers, be sure to pat them dry before assembly so they don’t stick together.
3. Use a mixture of different fillings for a more interesting spring roll – try combining shrimp, pork, and vegetables.
4. Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying the spring rolls – cook them in batches if necessary.
5. Drain the cooked spring rolls on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving.

Spring Rolls
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup canola oil divided
