Making Spring Rolls
Combine the water and cornflour in a small bowl.
1 Tbs water, 2 teaspoon cornflour
Place the defrosted spring roll wrappers under a damp towel.
20 spring roll wrappers
Put a piece of baking paper down. Then place a spring roll wrapper so it is shaped like a diamond in front of you.
Place two dessert spoons of filling across the bottom of the diamond. (closest to you.)
Fold the triangle up over the filling.
Roll gently but firmly.
Stop rolling when you reach halfway.
Fold each side in and over the cylinder, then continue to roll once more.
Baste the remaining triangle with the paste then roll closed. Reserve.
Repeat the process with all 20 spring roll wrappers.
Cooking Spring Rolls
Once the spring rolls are made heat the oil for cooking.
To test drop a small piece of bread in the oil. It should sizzle and float.
Add a few of the spring rolls to the oil and cook turning constantly.
Don't overcrowd the oil, the temperature will drop and the spring rolls will become soggy.
Remove the spring roll and drain on absorbancy paper.
Notes
Note:
This calculation does not allow for deep frying. It is impossible to estimate how much oil is taken up by the Thai Spring Rolls. If you would like to spray the Spring rolls with oil and bake them the rolls would have a very similar nutritional profile to the one given above.
Make sure the filling is cold before you attempt to roll the spring rolls or they will burst during cooking.
Drain the spring roll filling of all fluid before rolling in the wrappers or the spring rolls will be too soggy.
Once the spring rolls have been made they can be stored uncooked until you are ready to cook and serve.
