Hi,
I just wonder if I can have some advice to make better spring rolls..
My main problem is that the rice paper wrappers often unwraps when I put
them in the hot deep-fry oil. I have tried to glue the rice paper with
beaten eggs but still the violent bubbles created when putting the rolls
into the hot oil make the rolls unwrap. Do you have any good advice to
avoid this?
Use the wheat flour-based spring roll wrappers. They come about
25-30 to a package and are about a half-inch thick. They're the
ones that stick together and need to be pried off each other.
Many recipes say you can use the rice paper wrappers, but I've tried
a couple times and they're a genuine PITA. I'm not even sure it's
truly possible. I don't even think I've seen them used in
restaurants except for whole shrimp parcels.
The regular spring roll wrappers work very well - much better than
the few edible ones I managed to make with rice papers.
