Spring Rolls
Directions

- 12Using kitchen shears, cut the vermicelli noodles into smaller pieces and add them to the filling.
- 13Take a spring roll wrapper, face it like a diamond, and add some filling.

- 15Tuck in the side corners and continue to roll.
- 16Brush the last corner with a little egg wash and complete the roll.
- 17Heat some oil in a pan; use the chopstick test to check if it's ready.
