What Is Spring Roll Wrapper and How To Store Them?

A key ingredient of my chicken spring roll recipe is the “spring roll wrapper.” If you aren’t familiar with these beauties, let me give a short introduction and some pointers on how to store them correctly.

Spring Roll Wrappers & Sauces

Spring roll wrappers originated from East Asia and are most commonly found in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai cuisines. They are edible and made from a basic mixture of flour, water, and salt. Typically, they wrap some fillings inside a burrito and give the dish an overall crispy texture when fried.  

To store uncooked spring wrappers, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you aren’t planning to use it anytime soon, keep them separated by putting a piece of parchment in between and store them in a freezer bag.

If you have already fried the spring rolls, the wrappers will be in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just reheat the food like you usually would for other times before eating.

How To Customize Homemade Chicken Spring Roll Recipe?

Do picky eaters in the family? No worries. You can customize these chicken spring rolls as much as you want!

Let’s give you some ideas about how you can customize your chicken spring rolls with a variety of delicious flavors:

Choose Different Protein

Chicken Pieces

Instead of chicken, you can use other proteins like shrimp, beef, or egg for the spring roll. Please adjust the cooking temperature according to the meat you have chosen. Tofu is an excellent alternative for this recipe if you want to avoid meat.

Spice It Up

Want a little kick in your spring rolls? Let’s spice it up and add some heat to keep the rolls rolling!

While cooking, you can make the chicken rolls extra spicy by adding chopped jalapeños or Sriracha sauce. If you are skeptical about the spice level, add chili flakes to the dipping sauce instead of the veggie fillings. That way, you can control the spice level of each bite. 

Fresh Herb Addition

To refresh the rolls, you can use basil, cilantro, or mint leaves. Add these herbs as a finishing touch when you cook the veggie fillings, and watch your spring roll instantly take a fresh turn.

Recipe FAQs

Boneless chicken breasts or thighs are the most suitable for making spring rolls. These cuts are tender and have more juices, which blend well with the fillings inside the wrapper.

Please ensure the spring rolls are fried at the right temperature to prevent them from becoming soggy. Also, remove excess moisture from the filling before putting it inside the wrapper.

To freeze uncooked spring rolls, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and keep them in the freezer. Once frozen, place the rolls in a ziploc bag or airtight container.  

You can use an egg wash to seal the wrapper’s edges. Beat a large egg and mix it with water to make the egg wash, then use it to seal the wrapper.
