Placing the frozen spring rolls on a dry paper towel for 10 minutes before wrapping them in plastic wrap will ensure that the spring rolls don’t get soggy and tear when you go to wrap them.

You can also defrost wrappers by submerging them in cold water for 10-20 minutes and then place them on a dry paper towel to drain before wrapping. This method is quicker than using the freezer.

Dipping Sauce Options – It is recommended that you use soy sauce for this recipe. You can also use chili sauce or sweet chili sauce if desired. Mix it with water for a thinner consistency.

Soy sauce is the common option for dipping sauce, but the other two options are also good.

Opinion: I recommend soy sauce because it is salty and has an umami flavor, which gives the fried vegetables a savory taste.
