Default Tips for Spring Rolls


Thanks Everyone for the feedback. After reviewing the Photos in the URL,
plus a chat with a Philippina coworker today, I think the problem is that I
am using a different Spring Roll wrapper. My Coworker seems to think I am
using is a Vietnamese varient. Unfortunately the packaging has made the
trip to the dump already. The wrappers were a rigid, translucent circle,
about 12". I dampened them to make them flexable to be able to roll them.
If I got them too damp, they tore very easily. I also found the if you
allowed them to touch each other before cooking, they turned to glue.

The tip about wet paper towels should help.

I think it's back to the Oriental Grocery store, and flirt with the sales
clerk.

Thanks Again,
Rich
