Why Not Throw a Spring Roll Party?

Just like a burrito, spring rolls are an excellent platform for exploring new flavor combinations. Not only are rolls portable but they are easy to make with others, especially if you are trying to balance your guest’s multiple dietary restrictions. Sort of like a build your own sandwich shop, if you are a host you can make an ingredients bar. This allows for your guests to have full control over what they eat and ultimately less work for you!

At your spring roll party, all you need to do is buy the ingredients and prep. It is strongly recommended having a lot of options for vegetables and filler because then your guests can get more creative with their rolls.

Staples for spring rolls include (but are not limited to) tofu, peeled shrimp cucumber, rice vermicelli, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, avocado, green onions, and sesame seeds as a garnish.

Before you fill the rice paper, there are a few things to prepare. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one paper into the hot water for 1 second to soften.
