I can still enjoy the special flavor of fried spring rolls without hurting my wallet. They’re flaky, crispy, and delightfully good.

Are Fried Spring Rolls Healthy?
Like most fried foods, spring rolls are not very healthy. There is almost no protein in them, but lots of sodium. But when balanced with other nutritious foods, fried spring rolls can certainly fit into a healthy diet! Plus, the veggies add beta-carotene, potassium, fiber, and vitamins A, K, and C. They’re vegan-friendly, too.
What Are Vermicelli Noodles?
Vermicelli noodles are thin, delicate rice noodles that are a staple in many Asian cuisines, particularly in Vietnamese and Chinese dishes. Made from rice flour and water, these noodles have a subtle, chewy texture that pairs well with a variety of flavors. They are often used in stir-fry meals, soups, and salads and can be served either warm or cold. Their versatility and ability to absorb flavors make them a beloved choice! I know you’ll enjoy them in these amazing fried spring rolls.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 4 days. Fried spring rolls freeze super well, so you can keep on enjoying them post-fry. Simply store your fried spring rolls in a freezer-safe, airtight container, ensuring the rolls are not touching each other by using parchment paper. You can enjoy them for up to 4 months. To reheat, bake at 325°F for 10 minutes. That said, spring rolls taste best when they’re freshly made.
Serving Suggestions
Sometimes, all you need at the end of a long day is a hearty serving of fried spring rolls with a side of Sweet Chili Sauce. But if you’re feeling inspired and want to enjoy a night full of Asian small plates, then I recommend also making Air-Fryer Wontons, Chicken Potstickers (with this delicious Gyoza Sauce), and a refreshing cucumber salad inspired by the famous Din Tai Fung restaurant. Happy frying (and eating)!
