Some notes when rolling the egg rolls:
roll tightly but don’t push down two ends too close too filling to prevent filling from showing when frying

    Real Vietnamese egg roll (Chả giò) is wrapped with the thin transparent / cellophane / rice paper wrapper and not the Chinese spring roll / Chinese egg roll wrapper. Vietnamese rice paper (Bánh Tráng) doesn't soak up a ton of oil like the Chinese wrapper does; therefore, it makes real Vietnamese egg roll (Chả giò) taste so much lighter and crispier than the heavily oily Chinese roll. Vietnamese transparent rice paper can be purchased in Vietnamese-American grocery stores in North America. Chinese roll wrapper is way too coarse, is way too thick compared to Vietnamese rice paper (Bánh Tráng), and will soak up a ton of oil. It is suitable for Chinese food which is much heavier and much more oily when compared to Vietnamese food. Chinese wrapper isn't suitable for Viet rolls.
