Tropical Spring Rolls with Chile Sauce

4.8

(20)

The consistency and flavor of bottled Asian chile sauces can vary, as can the heat of fresh chiles, so make adjustments to taste. For these tropical rolls, we found the thinner Wei-Chuan brand spring roll wrappers worked best.

Active time: 1 hr Start to finish: 1 hr

Cooks' notes:

• Sauce can be made, without cilantro, 1 day ahead and chilled. Add cilantro just before serving. • Spring rolls can be formed (but not cooked) 6 hours ahead and chilled, covered with plastic wrap. * Available at Asian markets.
