Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the Veg Spring Rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the rolls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Simply fry them when ready to serve for optimal crispiness.

Can I freeze the Veg Spring Rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the uncooked spring rolls for future use. Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or container. When ready to cook, fry them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Can I bake the spring rolls instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake the spring rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to brush them with oil before baking for a crispy exterior.

How can I prevent the spring rolls from becoming soggy?

To prevent the spring rolls from becoming soggy, ensure the filling is completely cooled before wrapping, and make sure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F or 180°C) before frying. Additionally, drain the fried spring rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Can I customize the filling with other vegetables?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different vegetables such as mushrooms, bean sprouts, or snow peas to create your own unique filling.
