1. Use high caliber spring roll or egg roll wrappers
There are diverse manufacturers of egg rolls and spring roll wrappers out there. The secret's to discover those that could be tremendous thin and never doughy tasting. I suggest the Spring Home model “TYJ Spring Roll Pastry” which could be discovered at most of the Asian grocery stores. You can discover them within the frozen section, alongside with egg pancake, paratha or naan.
Egg Roll Wrappers
What I like about this spring roll pastry (egg roll wrappers) is that every sheet could be very thin and greater in dimension in contrast to a few diverse brands. The thin sheets make the egg roll very crisp and light. Since it's big enough, you'll have the opportunity to unquestionably roll the shrimp up with out any issues.
For this recipe, I didn’t get a danger to move to an Asian grocery store, so I used a Ryshobo (隆祥房)’s harumaki (egg roll/spring roll) wrapper that I got from a Japanese grocery shop Nijiya.

2. Use of Negi Miso (Leek & Miso Sauce)
I observe negi miso interior the egg rolls and serve it as a dipping sauce for more flavor. I personally don’t should dip my egg rolls into the sauce simply due to the fact there's lots of flavors already. If you desire to preserve your Shrimp Egg Rolls plain on your guests, serve the Negi Miso at the facet as an option.

In phrases of taste, this miso has a wealthy and mature taste with the full-bodied umami of soybeans and the sweetness of rice.
Where can I purchase Kodawattemasu by way of way of Hikari Miso®:
Japanese grocery shops (Nijiya, Mitsuwa, Marukai, native mom-pop shops, etc)
Asian grocery shops (including Chinese/Korean grocery stores)
Tokyo Central Online ($7.48)

For this recipe, get the shrimp with tail on. You won’t be consuming the tail, but it’s for the presentation. To present off the quite red tails, you'll should blank them carefully. Please don't skip this job or take a brief cut.
You will should straighten the shrimp so the egg rolls shall be a log shape. We use the similar straightening methodology that we use for Shrimp Tempura and Ebi Fry.
