Homemade spring rolls: our favorite summer meal
Whenever I ask Lenny what he wants for dinner… spring rolls! They’re super tasty, and very versatile, as you can change ingredients up each time. The only real crucial ingredient here is some kind of protein (like tofu) if you want them to serve as a meal.
Get everyone involved
If you’re having guests over, cooking and prepping them is a great way to be both entertaining and productive. It can be a hassle to juggle each element of making them all at once, so it helps a lot having friends in the kitchen with you.
Plus, they’re a lot of fun for everybody, especially kids!
