FAQ
Can I make these ahead of time?
Best assembled just before serving as rice paper can become soggy. Prep all fillings up to 24 hours ahead and assemble when ready to serve.
What if my spring roll wrappers tear?
Soak them briefly in warm water just until pliable, not soft. If torn, you can double-wrap with a second wrapper for stability.
How long do these keep in the refrigerator?
Store covered up to 24 hours, but texture is best when fresh. Cover with damp paper towels to prevent drying out.
