Fresh Spring Rolls

Fresh Spring Rolls that are vegan, loaded with so much great flavor and texture, and extremely addicting! We can't get enough of this delicious appetizer that can easily double as a simple dinner! We're equally obsessed with the punchy dipping sauce that's filled with all the delicious, fresh and spicy bits!

Notes

  • Tips and Tricks for Fresh Spring Roll Success
  • Prep Ahead and Storing Instructions
  • While the fresh spring rolls are best made the day of (up to a few hours before they're consumed), the different components can be made ahead of time!
  • If you're not serving the spring rolls immediately keep them whole and cover them at room temperature with a damp paper towel or clean, light weight kitchen towel to prevent the rice wrapper from hardening. Then when ready to serve, uncover, slice in half and serve with dipping sauce!
  • Dipping Sauce
  • The entire dipping sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Alternatively (just) the sugar and vinegar mixture can be made up to 1 week in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. An hour to 3 days before serving, just stir in the remaining ingredients!
  • Mushrooms
  • The mushrooms can be sautéed up to 2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Vegetables
  • All of the other vegetables can be sliced and stored in an airtight container up to 3 days in advance!
  • Don't dip the rice paper wrapper in the warm water for too long. You will end up having a hard time getting it to lay flat and roll.
  • It's important that the made spring rolls are not refrigerated. This will cause the rice paper wrapper to become hard instead of pliable and slightly chewy.
  • Make the components ahead of time to save on time the day you serve them!
