Ingredients

spring roll wrappers 15

spring roll filling 150 g

flour (mixed into a thin paste for sealing) 25 g

peanut oil (about 40 g actually used) 500 g

Instructions

Make the flour paste

Place the flour in a bowl, add water, and stir into a thin paste.

Wrap the spring rolls

Divide the filling into 15 equal portions. Place each portion in the center of a spring roll wrapper, fold in the four sides, and roll into strips about 7 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. Brush the seam with the flour paste to seal, forming raw spring rolls.

Fry the spring rolls

Heat a wok and add the peanut oil. Heat to about 60% hot (roughly 150 °C / 300 °F), add the raw spring rolls, and fry until golden brown. Remove, drain off the oil, and arrange on a serving plate.
