To make spring rolls, place about 2 tablespoons filling on a wrapper. Fold one corner over the filling; bring side corners toward center and roll tightly toward remaining corner. Seal with egg yolk.

Heat oil to 375°F. Fry rolls until golden brown; drain. Serve with Spring Roll Dipping Sauce.

Makes about 50 rolls.

Combine 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 2 tablespoons sugar; mix well. If desired, add chili pepper to taste. Makes about 1 cup sauce.
