How To Roll Spring Rolls

- Place a spring roll sheet on your work surface with the corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape).15 TYJ Spring Roll Pastry
- Add a heaped tablespoon of the filling (2 inches above the bottom corner) and align the filling to resemble a sausage shape.
- Tuck the bottom corner over the filling and tightly roll the spring roll sheet until it reaches halfway.
- Dip your finger in the flour and water slurry and brush it over the two sides of the filling, then fold one side into the middle and repeat with the other side.
- Brush some more slurry over the outline of the remaining pastry (it should look like an envelope). Gently tuck in the edges and tightly roll to close the spring roll.
Frying Spring Rolls
- Add oil to a pan and heat over a medium to high heat. Fry the spring rolls for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden. If you’re deep frying the spring rolls, then there’s no need to turn them over.Note: Cover ready to fry spring rolls with cling film to prevent the wrapper from drying out.

Notes
Once you've made the prawn filling, taste it and add more seasonings if necessary. You may want to add extra flavours like garlic granules, more salt or oyster sauce which I occasionally add a tablespoon off.
