One can understand why spring rolls are enjoyed everywhere. They aren’t greasy, aren’t heavy, and taste best filled with different flavors. Including sriracha makes the taste of your meal much better. Having a sriracha spring roll is like adding some heat, sourness, and excitement to every bite. You can count on it adding some flair to your meal and making you crave just one more bite.
The good news is that you can prepare these rolls simply and without any special ingredients. Once tasted, you will realize why they’re a favorite recipe for any spring roll occasion.
Get all of your ingredients ready to go before beginning to prepare your crispy sriracha spring rolls. The base of this spring roll recipe will consist of fresh vegetables, your protein of choice, along with a few essential sauces. Equally important are the wrappers. Classic spring roll wrappers are lightweight and best used for deep-frying; find them online or at your local Asian grocery store.
The right wrapper is necessary for producing a crispy sriracha spring roll. Paper-thin spring roll wrappers are most commonly made from wheat flour. Rice paper wrappers should not be used, as they are not meant to be fried and are most commonly used for fresh Vietnamese-style rolls.
The classic filling ingredients for sriracha spring rolls include bell peppers, bean sprouts, cabbage, and carrots. These vegetables soak up the spicy flavor of the sriracha sauce as well as contribute crunch. To make them fit nicely inside the rolls and fry evenly, you might slice them into thin matchsticks.
Depending on your dietary limitations, use tofu, chicken, shrimp, or minced pork. For vegans, mushrooms or tofu are a wonderful texture and great for soaking up flavors. Roll the filling after ensuring the protein is cooked.
The thing that truly puts these spring rolls over the top is the Sriracha. The spicy, sophisticated taste of this pungent chili sauce makes the sriracha spring roll stand out from the traditional one. For an extra dose of double the spiciness, incorporate sriracha into the filling, put some in the dipping sauce, or do both.
It is completely in your hands as to how hot you make it. Add more sriracha to your dish if you like it hot. Reduce the amount of spice if you are serving children or guests who don't like a lot of spice. This recipe's flexibility is its biggest strength. You can adjust the heat to the level you like.
Preparation of the filling, assembly of the rolls, and frying them until golden are the three major processes in preparing the perfect crispy sriracha spring roll. Let's discuss each of them.
To begin with, cook your preferred protein in a pan over some oil. To spice it up, toss in thinly sliced onions and garlic. Once the protein has cooked, stir-fry your vegetables for a few minutes. Don't cook them long; a short stir-fry will make the vegetables tender without losing their crispiness.
Once the mixture has been cooked, add your sriracha sauce and remove from the heat. Balance the flavors by adding a bit of vinegar, soy sauce, or salt. Avoid soggy rolls by allowing the filling to cool completely before wrapping.
Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you, like a diamond. Add a spoonful of the filling near the bottom corner, then fold the corner over the filling, roll once, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Use a dab of water or a beaten egg to seal the final edge.
Make sure the rolls are tight and firm. Loose rolls can burst open while frying. If you’re new to this, don’t worry—it gets easier with practice.
In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. If a small portion of the wrapper immediately starts to sizzle, you know it's hot enough. Rolls should be placed gently into the hot oil in batches, and they should be fried until golden brown, turning frequently. Normally, this will be three or four minutes.
To drain excess oil, set the crispy sriracha spring rolls on a paper towel. For best flavor and texture, serve hot.
While the sriracha spring rolls are delicious on their own, they do have the potential to be improved with a flavorful dipping sauce. Using soy sauce and a bit of vinegar, you can keep it simple, or using sriracha, honey, and lime juice, you can create a spicy-sweet flavor. The spicy snacks also pair well with dips that use peanut sauce or hoisin.
Customization is among the best things about making spring rolls at home. You can add glass noodles to fill out the filling, add in some herbs such as mint or cilantro, or completely forego meat. If you feel healthy, you can even bake them in the oven.
Lower the amount of sriracha or omit it from the filling to give this recipe a kid-friendly or sensitivity-friendly version for those sensitive to spicy. Serve the sriracha sauce as a dip on the side instead, so that others can tailor the heat to their level.
Any remaining spring rolls from a big batch need to be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. For them to become crisp again, reheat them in the air fryer or oven.
Besides being a delicious snack, the crispy sriracha spring roll becomes a spicy appetizer for parties, family dining, or even the lunchbox. The rolls can be assembled right before frying, and the filling can be made ahead.
In addition, you can also freeze the raw rolls and bake them directly from the freezer, making them a quick indulgence for surprise guests or midnight cravings.
Crispy sriracha spring rolls can be made at home and are not as difficult as they may seem. This dish is easy, speedy, and packed with delicious and lively ingredients. The crunch of the wrapper combined with the spicy sriracha on every bite makes eating fast food exciting.
If you’re learning to cook or have been for years, this dish will add enjoyment and taste to your kitchen. Mixing spicy sauce, fresh veggies, and a golden crunch leads to an appetizer no one will soon forget.
