It can be but I don't have the storage space and it seems like it always goes rancid before I fry again.

A lot of my oils are stored in the refrigerator and rancidity is not a problem. Also, the temp in my apartment stays around 70-deg F all the time and humidity here is generally quite low. Those things may help me and perhaps the fridge can help you. I remember Costa Rica has being warm and humid, very much like Panama, and we kept a lot of things in the refrigerator in Panama.

I wasn't aware that they had already been fried. It seems to me that they are something that you could bake. Most of the things that I shallow fry, I wind up finishing them the in the oven anyway.

 Well, the filling is easy, and if the wrappers will bake well and get crispy-crunchy, I may give it a try. I can buy wrappers readily enough. Might even consider playing around with other types of wrapping, like puff pastry. They won't be conventional spring rolls, but they might be nice ... gotta think about that.

 

I guess that's not such a new idea ... just found this:
