There are various ways of eating this fried spring rolls. I prefer to eat it as is or with tomato ketchup but I know of friends who like to dip their warm spring rolls in a vinegar mix that is flavored with hot red chili and garlic. Another milder option is the sweet red chili sauce. Either way, the choice of what sauce is prefect for this dish is more of a personal preference.

Just like the shanghai spring roll I posted earlier, this version can also be stored in the freezer for future consumption. To freeze, place each roll seperately on a baking pan lined with wax or parchment paper and freeze. Once frozen, keep the rolls in a sealed container. To cook, thaw the frozen roll in a lined tray at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Fry in a pre-heated oil at medium low heat until golden brown. Check and make sure that the filling is completely cooked, otherwise, cook longer at low heat until golden brown.
