DIY Spring Rolls
I learned this recipe on a recent trip to Bali at the Caraway Cooking Class where they offered me a vegetarian cooking class. The filling is pretty basic, but the wrappers is what I was really excited about. Scroll down and watch video to really see how it is done and you can fill it with your favorites.

Wrappers

- 3 tablespoons, beaten egg (save the rest for wrapping)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation
Make the filling:

Make wrappers
Mix all ingredients together to make a thin batter.
Heat a small frying pan just until hot. Then paint on the batter with a spatula until there is a nice thin coating.
Place over the heat and cook just until you see bubbles, remove from heat and lay out on the counter. Dab a little egg on the opposite side. Place a big spoon of the filling in the center and roll up from the bottom. Fold over both sides and continue rolling. Set aside until all are ready.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pot, once hot place spring rolls in the oil and cook until browned. Remove from oil and drain on a strainer, serve with sweet and spicy sauce of choice.
