Ingredients for Vegetarian Spring Rolls For 4 people
Rice paper 1 package Soft tofu 2 pieces (100gr) Taro 1 tuber (100gr) Carrot 1 tuber (100gr) Straw mushrooms 100 gr Green onions 2 stalks Cooking oil 100 ml Fish sauce 1 teaspoon Common seasoning a little (salt/seasoning powder/msg)
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose quality soft tofu
- Good soft tofu always has beautiful off-white pieces, so you need to pay attention to your selection.
- Choose pieces of tofu that feel soft and light when held, as these are usually the pieces that do not contain gypsum.
- You should also pay attention to the aroma and choose pieces that have the characteristic smell of soybeans.
- Avoid purchasing tofu pieces that are yellowish to dark yellow, heavy, firm to the touch, slightly hard, and have a lime smell.
How to choose delicious, non-stringy taro
- You should observe the indentations of the taro tuber. The more indentations, the tastier the taro.
- Choose tubers that still have a lot of moist soil clinging to them, as these are freshly harvested and very fresh.
- If the taro is already sliced, you should select those with a cut surface that has an ivory white color mixed with purple veins, and the cut surface is still dry.
- Avoid choosing overly large, heavy tubers as they usually contain a lot of water inside, resulting in a bland taste and stringiness when cooked.
How to choose fresh, delicious carrots
- To buy fresh carrots, you should choose those with a bright orange color, feeling heavy and firm when held.
- You should buy carrots with a shiny, smooth skin, not rough or showing any unusual tiny spots on the surface.
- Avoid choosing carrots with rough skin, wilted skin, or many indentations, as these are ones that have been harvested for a long time and have lost their sweetness.
How to choose fresh, clean, safe straw mushrooms
- When buying straw mushrooms, you should choose those that are intact and not bruised to ensure freshness.
- You should select mushrooms that are round and still in bud form, as they are still young at this stage.
- For delicious mushrooms, you will be able to smell their characteristic aroma, so choose those that you can detect the fragrance from.
- Avoid selecting mushrooms that have opened up and have a foul, unpleasant smell, as they may be old, spoiled, or rotten.
How to choose fresh and delicious American corn
- You should choose fresh corn with green husks that are not dry, with silky and soft corn silk, and the cob should not be bruised or wilted.
- Choose corn with plump, uniform, shiny, and straight kernels; the kernels should not be too large or too small.
- Avoid choosing corn that is too large, with yellow husks, wilting, and dry, brittle silk, as these are ears that have been harvested for a long time and no longer guarantee quality.
How to prepare Vegetarian Spring Rolls

Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing, peel the taro and carrots, then wash them clean and cut them into small strands.
Next, wash the straw mushrooms, green onions, and American corn thoroughly. Cut the straw mushrooms and green onions into small pieces, and thinly slice the American corn.
For the soft tofu, wash it with water, then mash or crush it finely.
Rolling the spring rolls
Spread the rice paper on a plate or flat surface. Then, add the stir-fried filling and roll it up in a cylindrical shape so that the filling does not fall out.
Frying the spring rolls
Place a pan on the stove, then add 100ml of cooking oil to the pan, heating the oil over medium heat. Next, add the rolls to fry on low heat.
When you see that the rolls are evenly golden, quickly remove them onto absorbent paper or tissue to absorb excess oil.
Finished Product
The fried spring rolls after being cooked and drained of excess oil should be arranged on a plate. The plate of spring rolls has a light yellow color, crispy pastry, and an incredibly delicious flavor.
You can enjoy the vegetarian spring rolls with chili sauce or sweet and sour fish sauce, both are very tasty.
