Frozen spring rolls are a convenient meal if you do not have the time or inclination to sit and assemble the ingredients and then roll the spring rolls or lumpia into shape. But if you are looking for a product to make your own spring rolls or lumpia from scratch, try Spring Roll Shells by O’tasty.
My husband and I love to create lumpia from time to time. But because it tends to be quite time consuming, making lumpia is a rare treat. We usually buy specialist lumpia wrappers from the frozen section of our supermarket, but for a change, my husband purchased Spring Roll Shells by O’tasty for $1.35. That was a very good deal for the 308g (10.8oz) pack of wrappers. Each pack contained 22-25 wrappers.
Storage and Preparation
The Spring Roll Shells should be stored in the freezer and defrosted one hour before they will be required. When you open the bag, you will need to cover the Spring Roll Shells that are not in use with a clean damp cloth, in order to prevent them from drying out. Once the Spring Roll Shells have been defrosted, add a small amount of the filling and then fold it tightly around the filling including opposite ends, ending up with a neatly wrapped spring roll or lumpia. My husband and I were pleased to find that each Spring Roll Shell peeled off easily without ripping apart. It was very sturdy and strong.
Cooking Instructions
The pack instructions state that the spring rolls or lumpia should be deep fried at 375oF for 7-8 minutes or until the shell has turned golden brown and is crispy on the outside. However, we prefer to cook the lumpia in our hot air oven, as this eliminates the need to constantly monitor the pan and it provides a much healthier alternative too. The final clean up is also much easier.
