How to Prepare Spring Roll Dough:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a deep bowl, sift the flour well and mix it with salt.
   • Gradually add lukewarm water while stirring and kneading continuously until the dough becomes soft and well-combined.

2. Rest the Dough:

   • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it well, and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.

3. Shaping the Dough:

   • After resting, divide the dough into small balls and coat each with cornstarch.
   • Roll out each dough ball on a flat surface using a rolling pin to form thin, circular sheets.
   • Brush the surface of each sheet with vegetable oil and lightly sprinkle cornstarch on top.
   • Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
   • This recipe typically yields around ten sheets of dough.

4. Stacking and Cooking the Dough:

   • Stack the dough sheets in two groups and roll them again to form two large circles.
   • Brush both sides of each dough sheet with vegetable oil.
   • Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and add a small amount of oil.
   • Place the dough sheet in the pan, cooking for about 3 minutes on one side before flipping to cook the other side.

5. Separating and Storing the Sheets:

   • Remove the cooked dough and place it on a smooth wooden surface.
   • Carefully separate the layers to create individual sheets.
   • Cut the sheets into the desired shapes and sizes.
   • Continue the process until all dough is used, trimming off any thick edges.

6. Storage Tips:

   • The dough should be used immediately or stored in airtight plastic bags, removing excess air before placing it in the refrigerator.
