Add the filling: Place a few strips of chicken, bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, and a small handful of herbs near the bottom of the wrapper.

Serve: Slice diagonally if you like. These Fresh spring rolls are delicious with a simple peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, or sweet chili dip.

FAQ
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: You can chop all the veggies and chicken ahead, but roll the wrappers right before serving to keep your Fresh spring rolls soft and fresh.
Q: Can I substitute the chicken?
A: Absolutely! Shrimp, tofu, or even thin beef strips work perfectly.
Q: Can I freeze them?
A: No, these rolls don’t freeze well, the rice paper loses its soft texture. They’re best eaten fresh.
