Directions

Read the instructions on your spring roll shells. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Taste for seasoning. As described on the package, peel off a shell and place on a plate with one of the points towards you in a diamond shape. Place about 3 tablespoons of the filling on the shell, fold point nearest you over filling. Fold sides inward, then roll. Seal by dipping your finger into a small bowl of water and use it to seal the edges. Place each finished roll on wax paper, making sure they do not touch. Heat oil for deep frying to 375F. Deep fry a few rolls at a time until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve by placing a spring roll in a lettuce leaf and top with mint and cucumber slices. Accompany with chili sauce and peanuts, if desired. Serve with Spring Roll Sauce.
