Ingredients for Chicken & Mango Spring Rolls

One of the best things about making spring rolls at home is just how flexible they are. Can’t find mango? Use pineapple. Prefer tofu to chicken? Go for it. Here’s what you’ll need to get rolling (pun intended):

For the Spring Rolls

• Rice paper wrappers (round, 22 cm): Find these in the Asian section of your supermarket or any Asian grocery. They’re naturally gluten-free and become pliable after a quick dip in warm water.
• Cooked chicken breast (1½ cups, shredded or sliced): Rotisserie, poached, or leftover grilled chicken all work perfectly.
  • Sub: Swap in shredded tofu, cooked shrimp, or even roasted turkey.
• Fresh mango (1 large, ripe, sliced into thin strips): Adds a burst of sweetness and sunny color.
  • Sub: Pineapple, peaches, or even crisp apple if you’re feeling adventurous.
• Carrot (1 large, julienned): For crunch and color.
• Cucumber (½, seeded and julienned): Adds coolness and crisp texture.
• Red bell pepper (½, thinly sliced): Brings sweetness and a vibrant pop of color.
• Fresh herbs (large handfuls of cilantro, mint, and/or Thai basil): Take these rolls from tasty to flavor explosion!
• Lettuce leaves (Boston, butter, or Romaine, cut into small pieces): Makes the rolls extra fresh and satisfying.
• Rice vermicelli noodles (optional, 1 cup cooked): For those who want heartier rolls.

For the Dipping Sauce

Hoisin-peanut sauce:

• • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (fresh!)
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 1–2 tbsp warm water (to thin)

 Whisk everything together until smooth. Add chili sauce if you like a little heat!

Pro Tip: Don’t stress about getting every ingredient. Spring rolls are endlessly adaptable. Use up what’s in the fridge!

Step-By-Step Instructions

These rolls come together quicker than you’d think. Here’s how to make them:

1. Prep Everything First (Mise en Place!)

• Shred the chicken, slice the mango, and julienne or thinly slice all your veggies.
• Wash, dry, and roughly chop your herbs.
• Cook and drain rice vermicelli if using.
• Set out all your fillings within easy reach. You want a tidy assembly line.

2. Set Up Your Rolling Station

• Fill a large shallow dish or pie plate with very warm (not boiling) water. This is for softening the rice paper.
• Place a clean, damp kitchen towel on your work surface to assemble the rolls.

3. Dip & Roll!

• Working one at a time, dip a rice paper wrapper in the warm water for about 5–7 seconds. It should feel soft but still a little firm. It will continue to soften as you roll.
• Lay the softened wrapper flat on your damp towel.
• Pile a little of each filling near the bottom third of the wrapper (leave some space at the edges): a bit of lettuce, chicken, mango, veggies, and plenty of herbs.

4. The Secret to a Beautiful Spring Roll

• Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling.
• Bring the bottom up over the fillings, then roll upwards, holding the fillings tight but not so tight you tear the wrapper.
• Place finished rolls seam-side down on a plate. Cover with a damp paper towel to keep them moist as you work through the rest.

5. Repeat, Dip, Repeat!

• Keep assembling until you’ve used up your fillings.
• Slice each roll in half on the diagonal to show off those gorgeous layers.

6. Serve with Dipping Sauce

• Whisk together the hoisin-peanut sauce.
• Serve rolls chilled or at room temp, with plenty of sauce for dunking.

Tips & Tricks for Spring Roll Success

• Don’t Overstuff: Less is more. Overfilling makes rolling tricky and can tear the delicate wrappers.
• Roll on a Damp Towel: Keeps wrappers from sticking and makes clean-up a breeze.
• Keep Them Moist: Cover rolled spring rolls with a damp paper towel so they don’t dry out while you finish assembling.
• Customizable Goodness: Feel free to swap in cooked shrimp, tofu, or leftover roast veggies for endless variety.
• Storing Leftovers: Spring rolls are best eaten fresh, but you can store them in the fridge for up to 2 days, covered with a damp towel and wrapped in plastic. Rice paper may harden in the fridge, so allow to come to room temp before eating or spritz lightly with water.
• Serving for a Crowd: Spring rolls make a stellar party appetizer. Slice each roll in half for a beautiful platter, and serve with extra dipping sauce options like nuoc cham or sriracha-yogurt.
• Sauce Variations: Not into hoisin-peanut? Try sweet chili sauce, tamari ginger, or a classic Vietnamese nuoc cham.

Anecdote: When I made these for a family picnic, my niece declared them “summer in a roll”—and she’s right. They’re that good.
