Egg roll filling with shrimps

The shrimp gives the filling a refined and salty taste. Double check the seasoning of your filling. It probably needs some extra salt. Spring roll filling must have a strong taste because it will be wrapped in crispy sheets, with not much seasoning.

Egg roll filling with minced meat

I fry the filling not too long. When the meat is done and the leeks are still crispy.  I pour the filling in a sieve and let it drain and cool for 15 minutes. If your stuffing is too wet, you’ll tear your beautiful home made egg roll wraps.
