  1. To make the stuffing, heat oil in non-stick pan, add garlic and ginger and mix well. Add spring onion bulbs, mix and sauté for 1 minute.

  6. To make the dressing, take castor sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and ½ cup water in a bowl and mix well. 
  7. To make the wontons, place a wonton sheet on the worktop, place a portion of the mushroom mixture on one side of the sheet, apply refined flour slurry on the edges, fold in the sides and tightly roll into a spring roll.
  8. Heat sufficient oil in a kadai. Gently slide in the spring rolls and deep-fry till golden brown and crisp. Drain on absorbent paper.

  12. Bring the casserole out of the steamer and place it in some cold water to cool slightly. Gently pull the rice paper and trim the edges. Make more rice paper with the remaining rice flour batter.
  13. Place each rice paper on the worktop, place a spring roll on one side and tightly roll. Cut into pieces and arrange on a serving plate. Drizzle the dressing over it and garnish with spring onion greens. Serve immediately.
