Roasted Sesame Spring Roll Salad

Point

- Mix spring roll dough thoroughly to prevent lumps from forming.

Comment

This kind of competition brings out our creativeness on how we incorporate our Kewpie product in Filipino menus. Our spring roll with Roasted sesame dressing is a filipino known snack and since it is a well known snack we intend to use our flavorful and aromatic flavor of our roasted sesame dressing. At first, we thought it is not possible because we, filipinos are already use to the sweet peanut sauce for this snack but when we tried using our roasted sesame dressing, it became more flavorful and adding a twist in a filipino recipe. Again, from KewpieNoy, thank you so much!
