Spring rolls with peanut sauce Submitted by: Andrea Wong, Program Specialist Agency Administration - Of ce of Public Affairs & Community Relations
My husband’s family is Vietnamese, and spring rolls always make an appearance at family gatherings: birthdays, baby showers, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any other celebration in between. I love spring rolls because they are light, packed with veggies, and versatile. It makes me feel less guilty when I lose count of how many I’ve eaten! They can be served as an appetizer or main dish for potlucks, picnics, or interactive, do-it-yourself group meals. Spring rolls are best eaten immediately, but can be stored for later consumption. If you are serving them within 2 hours, they can stay at room temperature and should be covered with a cool, wet towel. Refrigeration will make the wrappers more rubbery, so if the rolls must be stored until the following day, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container. Bring the rolls to room temperature for about 30 minutes before eating.
