- To wrap, Slowly peel each wrapper one at a time and keep them under plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel to prevent from drying up while you work.
- Lay the wrapper with a corner pointed towards you (diamond shape). Place the filling 2 tsp neatly just below the center of the wrapper.
- Start folding the bottom corner over the filling towards the top and tuck under the filling nice and tight. Fold each side and roll to close it with touch of water at the corner.
- Once you finish wrapping, start deep frying immediately before the wrapper gets soggy. Deep fry in a deep fryer/wok/pot with 170°C (338°F) vegetable oil until light golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes or golden brown. Drain the excess oil over a wire rack or paper towel.
