How do i make fresh spring rolls(chun juan)'? Green Source Information

Spring rolls are very delicious and fun to make.

You can use just about anything youd like as a filling for spring rolls. Vegetables should be either lightly steamed or sauteed and sliced into thin slivers. If youre using noodles, I find it works best to break them in half before cooking so theyre not too long. Fresh herbs are wonderful to use in spring rolls as well.

Submerge 2-3 wrappers at a time in hot (not boiling) water until completely pliable, about 15 seconds. Wrappers will become fragile, so I recommend using your hands for this. Remove from water and lay one wrapper on a flat surface, setting others aside. If your wet wrappers have small holes in them, place the holes closest towards yourself on your flat surface. For larger holes, use a double layer of wrappers.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of your filling horizontally on your wrapper, just below the middle.

Fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling and gently press down.

Fold in both of the sides of the wrapper and gently press to seal.

Continue rolling the spring roll up towards the top of the wrapper. If your wrapper wont seal closed, sprinkle the top with a bit of water or make a roux of one part water and one part cornstarch to use as a sealant.

Serve with dipping sauce and enjoy! For a vegan egg roll, simply deep dry your finished spring roll and viola!
