Preparation

  • Carefully peel the wrappers apart and cover them with a cloth, so they won't dry and get hard.
  • Soak the crystal noodles in warm water for about 5 minutes.
  • Make the glue, by mixing the water and all purpose flour in a small bowl and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Lay the wrapper on the cutting board point the corner toward you.
  • Place the mixture on the wrapper closer to the corner that points to you, roll it twice. Wrap the left side in and the right side in. Then roll over. Leave about 1 inch of un-rolled wrapper, spread the glue around it and then roll it up.

Cooking
  • If you have a deep fryer, fill with oil and heat to 375° F. If you don't have deep fryer you can use a wok, pour in the vegetable oil and turn on your stove to a high heat.
  • When the oil is hot and ready put the spring rolls in and fry about 5 minutes or until it turns to a golden brown color. Try to turn them over frequently so they cook all the way.
  • Let it soak up the oil, and cool on a plate with paper towels.

Serve
  • Cut in half and serve with spring roll dipping sauce.

I made this for my cousin's graduation party. I made 3 variations; the original, one batch with shrimp and one batch with chicken. They were a HUGE hit! One of the guest thought I had bought them from the store (smile). We served them with an Orange Blossom-Soy Dipping Sauce.

Today me and my husband will make the Fresh Spring Rolls minus the turkey because we don't care for processed meats. We'll be trying out your peanut sauce. Thank you for the great recipes!

Your recipe reminds me of my mother's cooking. She is Thai and made Spring Roll once a week when I was a child. I recently started cooking Thai food for my family and your site is very helpful! Thanks!
