Spring rolls are made by wrapping bean paste in skin and deep frying until crispy. The key to making spring rolls is not just the filling, but also the way they are rolled. If you roll them loosely so that they contain air, they have a light, snack-like texture. It's no wonder they are popular in China as breakfast and dim sum (yum cha).
