- Gather all your ingredients together, you want to work quickly once the wrapper is moist for easier handling.
- In a pan, heat up enough water to submerge the spring wrappers at just above 100 degrees, the hotter the water the quicker the wrapper becomes pliable. Put the wrapper into the water for 20-50 seconds and remove allowing the excess water to drip off.
- Lay the wrapper flat onto a chopping board and layer the ingredients, fold the ends like a burrito and gently roll up. Working quickly is key to an easy process.
