Spring roll dips can be made with fish sauce or peanut butter, often with added sugar, vinegar, and chili oil. Fish sauce-based dips are popular in Thailand, while peanut butter-based dips require no cooking. Sweet and sour or plum sauce can also be used as a dip for spring rolls.
Different types of spring roll dips are often based on the primary ingredients used in them, such as fish sauce or peanut butter. A common type of condiment that’s simple to make is fish sauce, often with added water, sugar, and acidity from vinegar or lime juice. Peanut butter varieties are also quite common and often include a soy sauce, sugar, and chili oil to enhance the flavor of the peanuts. There are also some fairly sweet spring roll sauces similar to those used with egg rolls, such as sweet and sour or plum sauce.
A spring roll dipping sauce is typically prepared to accompany spring rolls in a number of Asian cuisines. Spring rolls are often made similar to egg rolls, with a filling that is often a blend of different vegetables and can include cooked meats. Instead of frying the wrapped spring rolls, however, they are commonly eaten fresh after rolling, leaving them with a light texture and fresh flavor.
One of the most common and popular types of spring roll dipping sauce is made with fish oil. This sauce often starts with water and acidity from rice vinegar or citrus juice, which is heated to dissolve the sugar. Fish oil and other ingredients such as minced garlic and diced chiles can then be added to this concoction before serving. Fish oil based spring roll dipping sauce is very popular in regions like Thailand.
Peanut butter is also often used to make spring roll dipping sauce, although roasted and chopped peanuts can also be added. Peanut butter is generally used as a base, to which soy sauce, sugar and rice vinegar are added. Other ingredients like diced garlic and chilies or chili oil can also be added to this spring roll dipping sauce, which requires no cooking before serving.
There are also many other types of spring roll dip that can be made and enjoyed, including just about any type that is served with egg rolls. While the shakes are typically deep-fried and the spring rolls are often served fresh, they can have similar flavors that pair well with certain toppings. Sweet and sour sauce can be served with spring rolls, although the acidity of this dressing can overwhelm the rolls. Plum sauce is commonly preferred by those who like sweeter flavors and even a small amount can accompany spring roll ingredients such as ginger and prawns.
