SPRING ROLL | VEG SPRING ROLL

Try these Veg Spring Roll at home in snacks or with your favorite Asian food. They definitely taste better than any Chinese restaurant. Not to mention that you can customize them as per your liking. They have a crispy outer texture with a spicy vegetable filling.

I used always order these spring rolls whenever I go to a buffet in a Chinese restaurant. One time we accidentally order spring roll wrappers instead of rice wrappers for Vietnamese Summer Rolls. So instead of returning them, we thought of making Spring Rolls. I used vegetable filling as a stuffing in the spring rolls. They were easy to make and they were crispy in every bite.

You can make these delicious Spring Rolls in the air fryer or you can also deep-fry them for a crispier look. For a healthier option, I prefer to air fry these Veg Spring Rolls. You can add any stuffing to these spring rolls like a vegetable filling with tofu & edamame, or even leftover noodles work great in the stuffing.

• SPRING ROLL: This is the main ingredient for the recipe. You will need spring rolls and not egg rolls for the recipe. 
• VEGGIES: You can any stuffing in the recipe. I like adding veggie stuffing with cabbage, carrots, and edamame or you can also add stuffing of tofu with mushrooms.
• SAUCES: Along with veggies, you will also need some sauce just to enhance the flavor. I usually add soy sauce, vinegar, and some chili sauce to the recipe.
