  7. Continue filling and rolling until all the filling is gone.
  8. In a skillet, pour about 2.5 cm of canola oil and allow it to heat up.
  9. Gently place the spring rolls into the skillet and deep fry them. Be sure cook both sides until golden brown.
  10. Once golden brown, remove the spring rolls from the oil and set aside on a plate covered with a paper towel. Cool and serve.
