Preparing Spring Rolls

Use medium-size spring roll wrappers, which you will find in the freezer cabinet in Asian or Chinese stores. They should be thawed before use. For the filling, use ingredients such as bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and dried mushrooms, with chopped prawns or finely minced pork. When you have prepared the rolls, deep-fry them a few at a time in hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Method:

1. Peel off the top spring roll wrapper. Cover the rest to keep them moist.

2. Spoon the spring roll filling diagonally across the wrapper.

3. Fold over the nearest corner of the wrapper to cover the filling.

4. Brush the edges of the wrapper with a little corn flour and water paste.

5. Fold the edges towards the middle, then roll up in to a neat parcel.
