These were pretty good! Will be making them again, just a couple of things that stopped me giving it five stars. I found I needed nearly half a cup of water more - I know this varies but my greenhorn cooking friend followed the instructions exactly and it didn't work for him - so be prepared. Made sure you chopy your spring onions wafer thin or even better if you can get dried spring onion (negi) from your local asian supermarket these work very well. Last thing and its only a teeny tiny crit (honest) in the UK we dont have jelly rolls so I had no idea what "roll up like a jelly roll" meant and had to come up with my own method (roll flat and cut out rounds) Can we have world wide translations please :-)
