- Divide wrappers into half, so you can make mini egg rolls.
- Set each wrapper at such an angle that the points of the wrapper face north, south, east and west.
- Set a bit of filling in bottom third of wrapper.
- Bring bottom point over filling and tuck it underneath; roll the filling up a bit to secure tightly.
- Bring right point of wrapper over filling to form a neat right angle; bring left side of wrapper over right side to form a left right angle, and dab this top point with egg yolk.
- Roll the egg roll up to secure tightly.
- The egg yolk will seal the wrapper to itself.

- Deep fry straight from freezer; otherwise partially thaw before frying.

- Drain immediately on double thickness of paper towels.
- Once drained, set on a rack so bottom does not get soggy.
