About

Spring rolls are a popular snack throughout Asia. There are many versions even within Malaysia and every household will also have their personal take on the filling. Mine is a simple vegetarian version that I learnt to make from my Chinese neighbour while growing up. These are best served hot, with a dip of sweet chilli sauce.
