Make the Peanut Sauce

  • The wrapper should be pliable and translucent.

Layer the Filling

Roll and Seal

  • Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll from the bottom to the top, sealing tightly as you go.
  • The finished roll should be tightly wrapped with a neat seam.

Repeat and Serve

  • Repeat the softening, filling, and rolling process for the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Serve the spring rolls whole or sliced in half with the prepared peanut sauce on the side.
