Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 15 Rice Paper Wrappers
- 5 cups mixed fruits, cut into matchsticks (such as apples, pears, watermelon, mango, cantaloupe, honeydew)
- 5 strawberries, sliced (or any fruit to showcase through the wrapper, like kiwi)
- 1/3 cup hot water
- Yogurt for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Fruits: Slice the strawberries or any fruit you want to showcase through the rice paper into thin slices. Cut the remaining fruits into 6-inch long matchsticks.
- Prepare Water Bath: Pour hot water onto a flat plate, ensuring it’s warm but not boiling for easy dipping.
- Soften Wraps: Dip one rice paper wrapper into the hot water for about 10 seconds, making sure it becomes pliable but not overly soggy.
- Assemble Rolls: Place the softened rice paper on a plate or cutting board. Arrange the sliced fruits in the center of the wrapper to be visible through it, then layer the matchstick fruits on top.
- Roll Up: Fold one edge of the rice paper over the fruit, tuck in the sides snugly, and continue rolling until completely sealed, forming a neat spring roll.
- Serve: Serve the fruit spring rolls alone or with a yogurt dip as a refreshing, kid-friendly snack or party treat.
Notes
- Use a plate that matches the size of the rice paper wrapper for dipping to make soaking easier.
- Do not soak the wrappers too long; 10 seconds is enough as they will continue to soften while assembling.
- Each child can have their own plate with fillings to personalize their rolls and keep things tidy.
- Younger kids may need assistance with rolling to secure the spring rolls properly.
