Extra Tips for Perfect Crispy Spring Rolls

Keep Them Crispy Longer:

• Double-fry: First at 160°C to cook through, then at 180°C to crisp up.

• Cool on a wire rack instead of paper to avoid sogginess.

Smart Storage:

• Store uncooked rolls in an airtight container and freeze.

• Defrost for 30 minutes before frying to preserve texture.

Oil-Free Option: Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 15–20 minutes. Brush lightly with oil for even browning.

Ingredient Swaps: Replace tofu with mashed chickpeas, king oyster mushrooms, or straw mushrooms for a richer texture.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

Rolls tearing: Use good-quality rice paper. Keep filling dry and use just 1–2 tablespoons per roll.

Too oily: Ensure oil is hot (180°C) before frying. Don’t overcrowd the pan.

Bland filling: Add ½ teaspoon sesame oil or more vegan soy sauce during stir-frying to boost flavor.
