Place the oil into a wok and heat over a medium to high temperature

Season generously, stir to combine and set aside to cool
Once cooled, tip into a colander and allow the excess liquid to drain
for the cornflour slurry
Place the water and cornflour into a small bowl and whisk to combine
Place a spring roll wrapper in front of you with one corner facing down
If your spring roll wrappers are very dry, lightly brush them with water
Brush the edges with the cornflour slurry
Place 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the wrapper, one third of the way up
Wrap the bottom corner over the filling and roll once to tuck in the edge
Now fold the wrapper like an envelope, the right side towards the middle, and the left side towards the middle
Now roll firmly until completely rolled up
for deep frying
When all of the spring roll wrappers are done fill a wok with oil to 4cm depth
Bring up to 180° Celsius over a medium to high temperature

Drain on paper towel and serve when hot
