Spring rolls is popular snack/appetizer in Chinese. Spring rolls are always a big hit at parties, but they are usually deep-fried and high in fat. These spring rolls are versatile as you can make them out of shrimps, crab, chicken or even veggies. Usually, spring rolls are deep fried but we tried baked version for the challenge "Fried to Fav" hosted by Nupur of UK Rasoi.The best thing about them is they are very healthy and crispy. They are crispy without the added calories of frying.

Fold the front corner toward the back and roll up the spring roll firmly.
