This recipe makes 8 spring rolls.
Directions:
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and sauté until tender.

Once the mixture is cooked, remove it from heat and allow it cool slightly.

Add about 3 tablespoons of mixture to middle of the paper.
Fold in the sides of the paper.
Then fold the bottom up.
Finish by rolling the paper all the way.
Brush the paper with egg to seal the edges.
Allow the egg to dry and in the meantime, heat the vegetable oil in a pan or deep fryer to 375 F. Carefully place the rolls in the oil and fry until they golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Serve fried spring rolls with plum sauce and enjoy.
