Method
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Tuna Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, softened cream cheese, finely chopped green onions, chopped capers, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a smooth filling.
Wrapping
Wrap the Filling
Take one spring roll wrapper and lay it flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the tuna filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom up over the filling, then fold the sides in, and roll tightly to form a cigar shape. Seal the edge with a little beaten egg. Repeat this process for all wrappers.
Frying
Fry the Tuna Cigars
In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the wrapped tuna cigars into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serving
Serve the Tuna Cigars
Transfer the fried tuna cigars to a serving plate and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as a sweet chili sauce or a tangy tartar sauce.
