   • Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the corner closest to you.

   • Brush a little water or beaten egg on the top corner to seal the roll.
   • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Fry the Spring Rolls:
   • In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
   • Fry the spring rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
   • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
