5. Corn Spring Rolls
Ingredients:

- 2 cloves minced garlic
- ½ tbsp seasoning powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp MSG
- 3 tsp ground pepper

- Dip a corner of the rice paper into water to soften it. This helps the paper stick together during frying, so it won’t tear.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the corn mixture onto the rice paper, fold the sides in, and roll it up tightly but not too much, as the corn will expand when fried.
- Heat oil in a pan, enough to cover half of the rolls. As you roll each piece, fry them immediately to prevent the wet filling from making the rice paper soggy.
