🫔 How to Roll the Best Spring Rolls Ever
Spring rolls are ALL about assembly — here’s the simplest method.
1. Soften the Rice Paper
Dip one rice paper sheet briefly (like 1 second!) into warm water.
Place it on a plate — it will soften on its own in a few seconds.
2. Add Lettuce First
This helps hold everything together.
Place a piece of lettuce in the lower half of the wrapper.
3. Add Noodles + Veggies
Add a small handful of:
Rice noodles
Carrots
Cucumbers
Herbs
Don’t overfill — that’s the #1 trick for perfect rolls.
4. Add Protein
Place shrimp, tofu, or chicken on top of the veggies.
5. Roll It Up
Here’s the easy method:
Fold the bottom up over the filling
Fold in the sides
Roll tightly toward the top
Boom — perfect spring roll!
⭐ Tips to Make the Best Spring Rolls Ever
Use minimal water for the rice paper — too much makes it sticky and hard to handle.
Keep ingredients thin and even for easier rolling.
Add fresh herbs inside — basil + mint = AMAZING flavor.
Roll tightly but gently to avoid tearing.
Serve immediately for the freshest texture.
If storing, wrap each roll in plastic wrap to keep them soft.
