Crispy spring rolls stuffed with cheese and pepperonis made just like the ones you get from Walt Disney World, but now you can get them in your own kitchen.
Grab a circular cake pan or large shallow bowl and add 1 inch of lukewarm water to the bottom.
Dip one whole spring roll wrapper in the water and lay it on your preparation surface.
Add Two Tablespoons shredded mozzarella/provolone cheese to the center of the wrapper, leaving two inches of room on both ends.
Lay 10 pepperoni slices on top of the shredded cheese in a two-by-two fashion. Then lay 5 pepperoni slices on top of those going down the middle.
Add 1/8th cup shredded cheese on top of the pepperoni.
Take one end of the wrapper and fold it down over one end of the roll. Then take one side and fold it over to the other side tightly encasing the filling. You want to have the pepperonis to roll/fold over each other sandwiching the extra cheese in the middle.
Take the second short end of the wrapper and fold it down over the first folded side. Repeat with the other side.
Take the last side and finish the wrap.
Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients. You will have a lot of wrappers left over (they can be frozen for later use.)
Add 2 inches of vegetable oil (or frying oil of your choice) to a heavy duty frying pan.
Heat the oil to 375F degrees over medium heat. Use a thermometer to ensure you reach the appropriate temperature and it doesn’t get too hot.
Use a set of tongs to place two rolls at a time in the hot oil. Cook for two minutes, then flip and cook the other side for an additional two minutes.
Remove to a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb the extra oil. Repeat the process with the remaining rolls.
Serve warm with marinara sauce or pizza sauce for dipping and a dusting of grated parmesan cheese if desired.
