I know this is an old post but i was excited to see a GOOd spring roll post. I have been struggling with getting it just right so here is hoping this does it for us. Since my 3 year old is gluten free, we had to move away from egg roll wrappers to rice paper wrappers so she can still ejoy the food she LOVES!!

Sharmin – They tend to get dry after a few hours. I would try to bake them right before a picnic, spring rolls are fussy like that :)

I wanted to make these for a picnic, would it be a problem if i baked them off and ate them 3-4 hours later? Would they get stiff and dry?

Steph – I made these last weekend for a party, both baked and fried versions. Surprisingly, the baked ones were more popular!

Hi Zensporty! The word ‘Char Siu’ means ‘Fork Roasted’ Pork, in other terms, pork roasting on a spit. As the pork slowly roasts under high heat, it is glazed with a sweet bbq sauce, or ‘Char Siu sauce’. You can make your own BBQ pork with homemade sauce with this recipe post: http://chezannies.blogspot.com/2008/11/braised-char-siew-or-non-bake-char-siew.html
OR…
If you want a shortcut, just marinate cut up strips of pork with the jar of Char Siu sauce shown in my picture, then stir fry. That would be quicker if you’re really hungry :)

Re your comment: “This is the Char Siu that I made the previous night.”

What is Char Siu outside of the jar saying the sauce name? How would I make it?

This sounds devine! Please let me know how to make the Char Siu…I’m already hungry and I’ve finished a very filling dinner tonight.
