• brush the edges of the wrappers with water
• Fold the corner nearest to you over the filling.
• Gently press the wrapper around the filling, because you do NOT want air in them
• Fold the right and left corners of the wrapped toward the middle of the filling , one by one.
• Brush the rest of the wrapper with water, then roll up the rest of the egg roll
• Make sure all edges are sealed completely, (you do not want filling coming out while frying)
• You dont want the rolls TOO damp , just wet enough to keep them sealed before frying
• Repeat process until they are all filled and ready to fry!
• In a Medium , (semi deep) sauce pan, fill with about one inch of oil
• heat until 350F
• One at a time, slowly put each filled roll into the HOT oil carefully.
