Seaweed Fish Spring Rolls

These seaweed fish spring rolls are fun to makeThe key to making the spring rolls crispy is to pat dry the fish thoroughly before you lay them on the seaweed sheets. Make sure the temperature is not too high when you fry the spring rolls. Otherwise, the wrappers will get burnt before the fish is cooked inside. Garnish with some salad greens and fruits.

3 roasted seaweed sheets - Approx 7 1/2" x 8 1/2"

  4. Lay one spring roll sheet on a work surface.  Center one piece of seaweed on top of the spring roll.  
  5. Place one piece of fish diagonally on the seaweed near the front corner.  Fold the front corner up, and then fold both sides up.   Roll it up until almost at the end.   Brush some egg liquid on the other corner and seal the spring roll.
