Ingredients and Tools for Thai-Style Spring Rolls
Fresh and Flavorful Filling Ingredients
The heart of any great spring roll is its filling. For Thai-style rolls, you’ll want a mix of fresh, vibrant ingredients. Start with shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and thinly sliced cabbage for crunch. Add cooked vermicelli noodles for texture and chopped scallions for a mild onion flavor. For protein, you can use ground chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Don’t forget the aromatics—minced garlic and ginger bring that signature Thai flair.
Pro Tip: Toss your filling with a splash of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of sugar for a balanced, savory taste.
Wrappers and Substitution Options
Spring roll wrappers are essential. Look for thin, square wrappers made from wheat flour, often labeled as “spring roll pastry” in Asian grocery stores. If you’re gluten-free, rice paper wrappers are a great alternative. They’re a bit trickier to handle but still deliver delicious results.
Note: Keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth while assembling to prevent them from drying out.
Essential Kitchen Tools for Success
To make your spring rolls, you’ll need a few basic tools. A sharp knife or mandoline is perfect for prepping your veggies. A small bowl of water helps seal the wrappers. And, of course, your Household Visible Air Fryer is the star of the show. Its visible cooking window lets you monitor your rolls as they crisp up, ensuring perfect results every time.
Bonus: A silicone brush for lightly oiling the rolls can make all the difference in achieving that golden finish.
Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Spring Rolls
Preparing the Filling
Start by prepping your ingredients. Shred the carrots, slice the cabbage thinly, and chop the scallions. If you’re using protein like ground chicken or shrimp, cook it in a pan with a little oil until it’s fully done. Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan for that signature Thai aroma. Toss in the veggies and stir-fry for a couple of minutes. You want them tender but still crisp. Finally, mix in cooked vermicelli noodles and season everything with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of sugar. Let the filling cool before moving on to the next step.
Tip: Cooling the filling prevents the wrappers from tearing during assembly.
Assembling the Rolls
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, like a diamond. Place a small amount of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides to create a neat package. Roll it up tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of water. Repeat until all your filling is used.
Pro Tip: Keep the assembled rolls covered with a damp cloth to stop them from drying out.
Air Frying Tips for Crispy Results
Preheat your Household Visible Air Fryer for a few minutes. Lightly brush or spray the rolls with oil to help them crisp up. Arrange them in a single layer in the fryer basket, leaving space between each roll for even cooking. Set the temperature to 375°F and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Watch through the visible window as your rolls turn golden and crispy. Remove them once they look perfectly done and let them cool slightly before serving.
Note: Overcrowding the basket can lead to uneven cooking, so fry in batches if needed.
Serving and Pairing Ideas
Thai-Style Dipping Sauces
No spring roll is complete without a delicious dipping sauce. Thai-style sauces add a burst of flavor that takes your rolls to the next level. Here are a few options you can try:
- Sweet Chili Sauce: This classic Thai condiment combines sweetness with a mild kick of heat. You can find it in most grocery stores or make your own by mixing chili flakes, sugar, vinegar, and garlic.
- Peanut Sauce: Creamy and nutty, this sauce pairs perfectly with crispy spring rolls. Blend peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and a touch of honey for a quick homemade version.
- Nuoc Cham: A tangy, savory dipping sauce made with fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili. It’s light and refreshing, balancing the richness of the rolls.
Tip: Serve your sauces in small bowls for easy dipping. You can even mix and match to find your favorite combination!
Complementary Side Dishes and Drinks

FAQ
How do I prevent spring rolls from sticking to the air fryer basket?
Lightly spray the basket with oil before placing the rolls. This creates a non-stick surface and ensures easy removal.
Tip: Avoid overcrowding the basket for even cooking and crispiness.
Can I freeze uncooked spring rolls for later use?
Yes, you can! Place them on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer them to a sealed bag. Cook directly from frozen in your air fryer.

Reheat them in your air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes. This restores their crispiness without making them soggy.
