- Vermicelli noodles — Cook according to package instructions, then rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking together.
- Fresh herbs — Use a combination of mint, cilantro, and basil for a refreshing and aromatic flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For added crunch, you can lightly sauté the julienned vegetables before filling the spring rolls.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces, such as a spicy peanut sauce or a tangy lime-ginger sauce.
- To make the presentation more visually appealing, garnish the plate with edible flowers or microgreens.
Serving advice
Serve the Nouvelle Cuisine Spring Rolls as an appetizer or a light lunch. Arrange them on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an elegant touch.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Spring Rolls on a white rectangular plate, placing them diagonally for a visually pleasing presentation. Drizzle the dipping sauce in a decorative pattern around the rolls, and garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs.
