Cooking Tips

• Make sure to drain any excess moisture from the vegetables before adding them to the filling mixture to prevent the purses from becoming soggy.
• To make the wrapping process easier, keep a small bowl of water nearby to wet the edges of the spring roll wrappers and seal them securely.
• For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the pork and shrimp with tofu or additional vegetables.
