How to Wrap a Spring RollÂ
Before we start on our recipe, it’s important that you know how to wrap a spring roll. This will help you stay prepped for each type of roll.
First, pour some fresh water into the bowl. Then, place one rice paper sheet into the water and let soak for just 10-15 seconds. You want to do this until it gets softer but not mushy. Then, gently lay it out on the chopping boardÂ
Yellow Roll
- Start by sprinkling some black sesame seeds on your rice wrapper.
- Take your mango slices and place a few in the center, about one-third from the bottom of the circular wrapper. The width of your fillings will determine the width of the spring roll. You want to leave a couple of inches open on the two sides for wrapping purposes.
- Pile on the other ingredients like some red peppers, radish, cucumber, and some sprouts.
- The exact order doesn’t matter much. Just pile them on top, making sure to take up the proper width. It’s ok if the fillings spill upward.Â
- Envelope the sides and roll them up
- Roll the filling inward, gently pulling the bottom of the wrapper up and over the lower portion of the filling. Try to keep the fillings compact as you roll upwards, just until the fillings are enveloped.
- Pull each side over to enclose the filling. Continue wrapping upward until your spring roll is fully wrapped!
- Now place the roll on the serving plate to let them set.
