  Roll the spring rolls

  Use a spoon to scoop about 3 fingers worth of filling and spread it on the top of the rice paper. Then roll tightly twice and stop to fold the two ends of the wrapper. After folding, continue rolling until the end of the wrapper.

  At the end of the wrapper, apply egg white to create stickiness. Then round the spring roll to make it look nice.

  Repeat the above steps until all the filling is used up.
