Chinese Veggie Style Spring Rolls

Veggie Style Spring Rolls are a healthy, vegan option for dinner. While many recipes contain meat, chicken, or seafood, a vegetarian version is made with tofu instead of meat. Tofu is a great vegetarian alternative to beef or pork. Using vegetable-based spring roll fillings can make these snacks a delicious vegan treat for any time of the day. The long ingredient list makes these rolls a healthier and more appealing option than a meat-filled version.

Air Fryer Veggie Style Spring Rolls

Ingredients:

• 8 spring roll wrappers
• 2 cups of thinly sliced mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and lettuce)
• 1/2 cup cooked vermicelli noodles
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for brushing

Instructions:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Mix well to create a flavorful dipping sauce. Set this aside for later.
• Lay out a spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place a small amount of sliced vegetables and vermicelli noodles in the center, leaving about an inch on each side.
• Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, and then roll it up from the bottom, creating a tight cylinder. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
• Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
• Lightly brush each spring roll with vegetable oil. This will help them get that crispy texture in the air fryer.
• Place the spring rolls in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch each other. You may need to cook them in batches.
• Air fry the spring rolls for about 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
• Once they’re done, remove the spring rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute.
• Serve the air-fried Veggie Style Spring Rolls with the prepared dipping sauce and enjoy the crunchy, healthier version of this classic dish.

Tips for making Veggie Style Spring Rolls

Serving Suggestions

• Dipping Sauces: Aside from the sauce provided in the recipe, consider offering a variety of dipping sauces. Peanut sauce, sweet chili sauce, or a soy-based sauce with a hint of ginger can add exciting dimensions to your spring roll experience.
• Fresh Herbs: Cilantro, mint, and Thai basil are traditional accompaniments that enhance the flavors of the spring rolls. Serve them alongside the rolls for your guests to add as they please.
• Pickled Vegetables: A side of pickled carrots or daikon radish adds a tangy crunch that pairs wonderfully with the freshness of the spring rolls.
• Lettuce Wraps: Transform your spring rolls into lettuce wraps by using large, crisp lettuce leaves as the outer layer. It’s a low-carb option that offers a unique texture.
• Beverage Pairing: Complement the dish with a refreshing beverage. Green tea, Thai iced tea, or even a zesty ginger ale can be excellent choices to balance the flavors.

Cooking Tips

• Keep Ingredients Dry: Ensure that the veggies and vermicelli noodles are dry before assembling the spring rolls. Excess moisture can make the wrappers soggy.
• Use Fresh Ingredients: The key to fantastic spring rolls is the freshness of your ingredients. Crisp, colorful veggies and herbs are essential.
• Don’t Overstuff: Be mindful not to overstuff the spring rolls. A moderate amount of filling ensures they are easy to roll and won’t burst.
• Seal Tightly: When rolling the spring rolls, tuck in the sides as you go and roll tightly. This prevents them from falling apart during frying or serving.
• Fry Carefully: If using the air fryer, make sure to brush the rolls lightly with oil. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can result in uneven cooking. Turn them halfway through for an even, crispy finish.

FAQs about Veggie Style Spring Rolls

• Can I prepare the spring rolls in advance for a party?  Absolutely! You can assemble the spring rolls a few hours ahead of time, but it’s best to keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out. If you need to make them the day before, store them in an airtight container with a damp paper towel between each layer. Remember, they’re best when they’re freshly made.
• Are spring rolls gluten-free? Spring roll wrappers are typically made from rice flour, which makes them gluten-free. However, always check the packaging to ensure there are no hidden gluten-containing ingredients, as different brands may vary.
• How do I store leftover spring rolls?  If you happen to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To maintain their freshness and crunch, it’s best to place a damp paper towel or cloth in the container with the spring rolls. Consume them within a day or two for the best taste and texture.
• Can I use different vegetables in my spring rolls? Absolutely! Get creative with the veggies you use. Experiment with julienned zucchini, asparagus, or even avocado slices for a unique twist. The key is to keep the fillings fresh and crisp.
• Are there variations of the dipping sauce I can try? The dipping sauce is incredibly versatile. You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha, and experiment with different vinegars or sweeteners for a personalized touch. Feel free to tailor it to your taste.
