Preparation

Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Saute mushrooms, carrot, onion, garlic, ginger and chili pepper 3-5 mins, until mushrooms soften. Season to taste. Cool.
Cut each spring roll wrapper into 4 equal squares. Place heaping teaspoon of mixture in the center. Brush edges with egg. Gather corners, pinching together to make a moneybag shape.
Heat oil in a large deep skillet or wok until a little pastry sizzles as soon as it is added (325\u00b0F). Deep-fry dumplings in 3 batches, 2-3 mins each, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel.
For the dipping sauce, combine chili sauce and lime juice in a small bowl. Serve dumplings with dipping sauce.
