We use the leftover filling from our stuffed bitter melon recipe and roll a bunch of these up. They freeze well (spread them out on a sheet pan and freeze them first before vacuum sealing) and thaw quickly for a quick dinner or dish for entertaining. Serve with Nuoc Cham as a dipping sauce, herbs (thai basil or shiso) and lettuce to wrap.
