For best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fresher the herbs, the more vibrant the flavor.
To prevent the rice paper wrappers from sticking, work on a clean, slightly damp surface.
If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the shrimp with marinated tofu or sautéed mushrooms.
These spring rolls are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can prepare them a few hours in advance. Wrap each roll individually in damp paper towels and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Adjust the amount of chili sauce to your preference for spiciness.
Experiment with different fillings, such as bean sprouts, carrots, or avocado.
