Spring rolls (fresh/raw bar)
Light, fresh, and herbaceous, with a soft, chewy rice paper wrapper and a cool contrast to fried appetizers.
Lens analyzedFresh spring rolls from a raw bar are unfried rolls wrapped in soft rice paper, filled with vegetables, herbs, rice noodles, and sometimes shrimp or pork, served cold with a dipping sauce. They're distinct from fried spring rolls in both texture and preparation.
Where it comes from
Fresh, unfried spring rolls (sometimes called summer rolls) are especially associated with Vietnamese cooking, where fresh herbs and rice paper wrapping create a light, cool dish, and versions have spread to delis and grocery raw bars across North America.
Buying it
Ask how long the rolls have been sitting at the raw bar, since fresh, uncooked ingredients like shrimp or herbs are more perishable than a fried appetizer.
Storing it
Refrigerate fresh spring rolls immediately and eat them the same day, since the soft rice paper and fresh fillings don't hold up well over time.
Keeps about 1 day in the fridge.
