Once served, sometimes bamboo shoot spring rolls are not eaten straight away. The reason is, this dish is quite filling even if you only eat one portion.

So, here's how to store bamboo shoot spring rolls so they last more than 1 day.

1. Make sure the spring rolls are cold.

Before storing spring rolls, make sure that they have cooled completely after cooking.

2. Use a closed container.

Place spring rolls in a tightly closed airtight container. This will help prevent outside air from entering and maintain moisture so that the spring rolls don't go stale quickly.

3. Store in the refrigerator.

If possible, store spring rolls in the refrigerator (refrigerator). A lower temperature will help keep spring rolls fresher for longer.

4. Use plastic wrap.

You can also wrap spring rolls individually in plastic cling wrap before storing them in a closed container. This will help isolate the spring rolls from outside air.

5. Don't keep it too long.

Although the steps above will help extend the shelf life of spring rolls, you should still consume them within a relatively short time, usually within 2-3 days after cooking. Spring rolls that have been stored for a long time may lose their optimal taste and texture.
