They come with a separate packet of sweet and tangy dipping sauce, typically made with ingredients like vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. The rolls are designed for quick preparation and offer a convenient appetizer or snack option.

To prepare, the spring rolls can be cooked in an oven, air fryer, or deep fryer until golden brown and crispy. The dipping sauce packet should be opened and served alongside the hot spring rolls. Ensure the rolls are heated thoroughly to achieve the best texture and flavor. Avoid overcrowding the cooking vessel to allow for even crisping. The sauce can be poured into a small dish for easy dipping.
