Treat your ingredients with care...

• Hungarian sausages — Use high-quality sausages with a good balance of spices for the best flavor.
• Hungarian paprika — Opt for sweet or mild paprika for a subtle heat, or use hot paprika if you prefer a spicier kick.
• Spring roll wrappers — Keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth while assembling the spring rolls to prevent them from drying out.

Tips & Tricks

• To make the spring rolls extra crispy, double fry them. After the initial frying, let them cool for a few minutes, then fry them again until golden brown.
• Serve the spring rolls immediately after frying to maintain their crispiness.
• Experiment with different dipping sauces such as Hungarian tomato sauce or garlic yogurt sauce for added flavor.

Serving advice

Serve the Hungarian-style spring rolls as an appetizer or snack. They can also be enjoyed as a main course alongside a fresh salad or as part of a Hungarian-themed meal.

Presentation advice

Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or dill. Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
