I think you may be making summer rolls if you are concerned about them
sticking. Spring rolls are deep fried.

I usually make them right before they will be eaten. I imagine you could
wrap them in lettuce leaves or parchment.

If you can't find the Thai basil mint leaves are also good. Red peppers,
mung bean sprouts and cucumber also go well in them.
