Spinach and Cheese Spring Rolls

By Sho @ Hungry for Thai on Jan 8th 2025 Sho

Spinach and Cheese Spring Rolls are a fusion twist that brings a Western touch to Thai cuisine. Traditionally, Thai spring rolls are filled with vegetables, glass noodles, and sometimes meat, but this version swaps in spinach and cheese—resulting in a deliciously crispy, gooey bite that’s both unique and satisfying.

For my Spinach and Cheese Spring Rolls, you can enjoy them as they are. But if you’re looking for a bolder flavor, especially for a party, try pairing them with the Spicy Yogurt Dip. It’s quick and easy to make, with just a few ingredients, adding a deliciously tangy and spicy kick to every bite!

I also found another dipping sauce that pairs incredibly well with these crispy, cheesy spring rolls. The rich, creamy texture of the sauce perfectly balances the crunch and gooey filling. It’s the Easy 5-Minute Chimichurri Aioli by Nena. Trust me, this combo is a must-try!
