How to Keep Prepared Spring Rolls Fresh

Spring rolls are great party food, and can be prepared ahead, says Anne Le, co-owner of Tamarine restaurant in Palo Alto, California (and former co-owner of Bong Su in San Francisco). She advises that a moist towel can prevent spring roll rigor mortis. Le also offers counsel on softening the rice paper, assembling the rolls, and what to dip them in.

  • Spring rolls don't last. The moist towel may help a little (as can sealing a package with saran wrap), but these are best eaten within a few minutes of making. Otherwise, it's a big, grainy mush. Shrimp included.
