If I had the a choice for a last meal, it’d be spring rolls for sure. Growing up, I loved being aside my mom while she taught me her tricks on how to roll a good looking spring roll. Now I’ll have spring rolls at least twice a week at home! Great thing about spring rolls are the filling ingredients are flexible and you can add or opt anything out.
Inspired by mom’s technique, these Colorful Rainbow Spring Rolls are refreshing, colorful and fun to make!
