Spicy tuna and vegetable spring rolls
Canned tuna may not be a gourmet ingredient but, trust me, you can turn it into a beautiful dish by using it as spring roll filling. Pair the fried spring rolls with a good dipping sauce. Serve with rice as a main course. Or serve by themselves as an appetizer or snack. Great with hot tea on the side.
