Bring the sides in and fold over. Continue to roll and tighten the pastry until you have a cylindrical spring roll. Continue this method until you have all your spring rolls ready for frying.
Cooking
- Cook 3-4 spring rolls at the same time. Place your oil in the wok and get it to around 170-180°C. Then turn it down to a low heat and add the first 3 spring rolls. Pop any bubbles as they bulge up. Fry for 3-4 mins, to cook through. Then remove and place on a grill so the oil can drip off. Now fry the other,s 3 at a time.
- For the second fry, get your oil to a medium to high heat,180°C, and place the spring rolls in again for about a minute to crisp up.
