Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Cut a round
|
rice paper sheet into quarters. Place the cut rice paper on a flat
|
surface. With a pastry brush, paint beaten egg over the entire
|
surface of each of the pieces. Before filling, wait for egg mixture
|
to take effect, softening the wrappers; this takes about 2 minutes.
|
When you become adept at this, you can work on several wrappers at a
|
time. When the wrapper looks soft and transparent, place about 1 tsp.
|
of filling near the curved side, in the shape of a rectangle. Fold
|
the sides over to enclose the filling and continue to roll. After
|
filling all the wrappers, pour the oil into a large frying pan, put
|
the spring rolls into the cold oil, turn the heat to moderate, and
|
fry for 20 to 30 minutes, until a lovely golden brown. (This is
|
Bach's special method of keeping spring rolls crisp).
