Notes

  • Drain the Filling: Letting the slaw marinate and then draining it keeps the wrappers crisp during frying.
  • Roll Tightly: A tight roll helps prevent the filling from shifting while frying.
  • Frying Temperature: Maintain the oil at 350°F for the crispiest texture without absorbing excess oil.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with Sweet Mango Dipping Sauce, Thai Peanut Sauce, Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce, or Cilantro Lime Taco Sauce.
