Treat your ingredients with care...

• Spring roll wrappers — Make sure to keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth while working with them to prevent them from drying out.
• Bean sprouts — Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry before using to remove any excess moisture.

Tips & Tricks

• For added flavor, you can add a teaspoon of Dutch mustard to the vegetable filling.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the filling mixture.
• To make the spring rolls extra crispy, brush them with beaten egg before baking.
• Serve the spring rolls immediately after baking for the best texture.
• Feel free to customize the filling by adding other Dutch vegetables such as mushrooms or kale.

Serving advice

Serve the Dutch-style spring rolls as an appetizer or snack. They pair well with a variety of dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or peanut sauce.

Presentation advice
