Ingredients List
Important Notes
Moistening rice paper with a damp cloth instead of soaking it prevents excess water retention, keeping the spring rolls crispier for longer after frying.
Mashing tofu and draining its excess moisture helps absorb wetness from the vegetables inside the Northern-style spring rolls.
Leave some space between the spring rolls when first placing them in the oil to prevent them from sticking together.
