Veggie Spring Rolls

   Mix together well.
3. 3
   On a work surface, set out the spring roll wrappers, the bowl of filling and a small bowl with water.
4. 4
   Prepare a large non-stick skillet with 1/8 inch of canola oil in the bottom and pre-heat on low until ready to cook.
5. 5
   To fill the spring rolls, place a wrapper on your counter in a diamond shape with a corner facing towards you.
6. 6
   Place about two tablespoons of the vegetable mixture on the lower third of the wrapper and form it into a line.
7. 7
   Fold the bottom corner up and then fold each side in over the center and roll the wrapper tightly upwards.
8. 8
   Seal the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water and place the completed rolls seamside down on a plate.
9. 9
   Continue the rolling process until all of the filling and wrappers are used.

    Increase the temperature of the oil to medium then lightly fry the rolls on each side for 3-4 minutes, rotating the spring rolls so they achieve a golden color on all sides.
