Sushi Grade Fish
Ensure fish is 'sushi grade' from a reputable supplier to minimize the risk of parasites. Freezing the fish beforehand can also help.
Proper Spring Roll Wrapping
Soften rice paper in warm water and avoid overfilling to prevent tearing. Tightly roll the ingredients for a neat and presentable spring roll.
Noodle Cooking Time
Cook noodles according to package instructions, being careful not to overcook them. Al dente noodles provide the best texture.
