on with soy sauce. - Prepare your work space for rolling the spring rolls.

- If you have really thin wrappers, you can easily use two wrappers for one spring roll. Just wrap the finished roll again with another wrapper.
- Heat the frying oil in a frying pan.
- When the oil is hot (you can test this by dipping a spring roll in the oil. If it sizzles, it’s ready) place the spring rolls in the oil.
- After one minute of frying turn it around. The spring rolls should have a medium brown color.
