Method to wrap a spring roll

Ready to fry

4.Heat 2 cups of oil in the wok or thick based frying pan over medium-high heat.When the oil is hot, deep-fry the spring rolls until cooked. Let cool on paper towel. They are ready to be served. 

5. If you want to store fresh spring rolls for later eating, place them into a container with lid. I recommend you to leave a gap between them and put baking paper on each level to avoid them stick together and put in the fridge. They can be kept up to 3-4 weeks.
