Author\u2019s note: I wasn\u2019t paid (or compensated in any way) to write this review, and I have no affiliation with Bibigo Food<\/a> nor Costco<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t make the rules.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s best not to stop and question whether you REALLY need to buy 50 spring rolls at once. The answer is always “yes.” Don’t even think about it, just put them in your cart. Everyone needs a 3-pound box of frozen spring rolls in their life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look, these are just facts<\/em>. I don’t make the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In all seriousness, this is my second year in a row buying one of these chonky, 48 ounce boxes of Bibigo Vegetable Spring Rolls from Costco. That means, I \u2014 a petite single lady \u2014have purchased 6 pounds<\/em> of spring rolls. In a 12-month time span. Solely for my own little stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I regret nothing. These are among the best frozen spring rolls I’ve ever had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Frozen<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. I’ve been working my way through the first box of spring rolls for almost a year now. At the rate I’m going, I’ll still have spring rolls for a Christmas party in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also bought a second<\/em> box this week. Just to be safe. You can never<\/em> have too many spring rolls. Never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Christmas, these Bibigo Vegetable Spring Rolls typically go on sale at Costco right before the holidays \u2014 usually in November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing better than 3 pounds of spring rolls is 3 pounds of spring rolls you got on sale.<\/em> You know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More about the price and servings later.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What do they taste like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned above, these are some of the best frozen spring rolls I’ve had. So far, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spring roll wrappers are wonderfully crisp (and flakey). I love how the wrappers are paper-thin, and beautifully delicate. They’re not very oily, but they taste freshly fried. Even though I baked them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other frozen spring rolls, Bibigo’s maintain the freshness and bright colors of the vegetables inside. Although not raw, the veggies are crisp-tender. This is particularly true for the large, whole edamame (soy beans), and the narrow carrot sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the filling is flavorful and textural, with a rich umami<\/a><\/em> taste. The ingredients list a lot of other vegetables, which I couldn’t individually discern, but which contributed to the overall flavor. This includes cabbage, jicama, sweet potato, bamboo shoots, leeks, and onion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Edamame<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, there are also “flavor enhancers,” like Disodium Guanylate and Disodium Inosinate. More about the ingredients later.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Do you prefer egg rolls? I previously reviewed the Minh Mini Chicken Egg Rolls from Costco, which were decent, but lacked a fresh taste to the filling. You can read my snarky review here<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving the Bibigo Spring Rolls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each spring roll is about 3 inches long. They can be cut in half (diagonally) for finger food or easier serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found these tasted best after they’d cooled down for 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Soy Ginger Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The package comes with a four packets of flavored Soy Ginger Sauce to eat with the rolls. I definitely could have used more<\/em> of this sauce. Or just more smaller<\/em> packets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are only cooking a few rolls at a time, you would quickly run out of sauce packets. With ten servings of spring rolls per box, there’s an awkward 0.4 sauce packets per serving. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, I also enjoyed these vegetable rolls dipped in regular ‘ol soy sauce. I also tried adding a little Baccan’s Japanese BBQ sauce to plain soy sauce, for my own tangy-sweet spin. Pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fingers<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anyway. The included Bibigo Ginger Soy sauce has a pleasant viscosity, and nice balance of sweet and salty. It’s lightly tangy with fruity notes (from pear juice), and a hint of heat from the ginger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking Instructions for Bibigo Frozen Spring Rolls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rolls are not fully cooked, so they need to be thoroughly heated before serving. The package offered a couple options for heating these spring rolls, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
