Por pia tod, as Thai spring rolls are known, came to Thailand with Chinese immigrants and became a staple of Thai parties and street stalls. The wrappers are thin and wheat-based, and they fry up impossibly crisp, turning golden in just a couple of minutes. They are a fixture at family gatherings, always served hot and fresh from the fryer.
A shattering crunch with a savory heart
The filling of pork, glass noodles, and shredded vegetables stays juicy and garlicky, while the wrapper turns golden and shatteringly crisp. Sweet chili sauce is the classic partner, its sticky sweetness balancing the savory filling. Roll them tightly so the filling stays sealed inside the crisp shell, and make plenty — they disappear fast at any table.
