Vegetarian Spring Roll| Homemade Spring Roll

I love springs rolls of any kind. Asian food is one of my favorite foods. I came up with my own version of veggie spring rolls, I usually make 50 at a time and freeze them for when I want a quick snack. You’ve never really had a spring roll until you’ve tried homemade!! Way better than your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurants, this spring roll recipe is crispy on the outside with a vegetable and mushroom filling. Helpful step-by-step rolling instructions included, to make a pro of you in no time!There’s really no definitive rules about what goes inside Spring Rolls. But typically, you’ll find a mix of some kind of meat (usually ground pork / mince) with finely chopped or shredded vegetables, plus seasoning I like to add portabella mushrooms which adds extra umami (savoury flavour) into the filing.Spring roll wrappers are sold at Asian grocery stores.
