Spring rolls are a super light and crispy cousin of traditional egg rolls. The thing most people don't realize is that you can fill spring roll wrappers with anything you’d like! This recipe uses a vegetarian filling, but chicken, pork, or even shrimp would make for a great addition to the ingredients below.
