Assemble the Spring Rolls: Lay a softened and warmed run bing wrapper on a large plate or cutting board. (Optional Sauce): If using hoisin sauce, use a spoon to lightly smear a small amount in the center of the wrapper. Place a spoonful or two of the pork and vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper. (Optional Garnishes): If desired, sprinkle a small amount of ground peanuts and/or powdered sugar over the filling. Bring two opposite sides of the wrapper towards the center, overlapping slightly. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper tightly over the filling. Starting from the folded bottom edge, roll the wrapper tightly upwards, like a burrito or spring roll, until completely sealed.
