A wonton wrapper is 3.5 inches square. Spring roll and egg roll are similar, but the egg roll is bigger and thicker. As they are similar composition (flour and water) you might be able to cut spring roll to right size (3.5″ square) and use them to make correctly sized wontons.
If kept perfectly dry, it won't 'go bad', just like dry, raw rice grains. You'll know it's gone bad if the sheets are stuck together, or have little water drop shaped holes in it. It'll be unusable in this state, so no risk of accidentally eating it (it wouldn't make you sick anyway, unless mould is also present).
Roll up the wrappers, tuck in the ends and place side by side in steamer basket or large colander. Set the steamer basket (or colander) over the now simmering water, cover, and steam until the wrappers are translucent, about 5 minutes. Serve the spring rolls with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
Make sure that the spring rolls do not touch each other, as they can be a bit sticky and may tear if you need to pull them apart. Alternatively, you may freeze the wrapped spring rolls to be cooked at another time. If there is any leftover filling, you can always freeze it for another Vietnamese spring roll occasion.
Ingredients of the food rice paper include white rice flour, tapioca flour, salt, and water. The tapioca powder makes the rice paper glutinous and smooth. It is usually sold dried in thin, crisp, translucent round sheets that are wrapped in cellophane.
How do I know when my wonton wrappers are bad? Mold or dried out texture. If they seem fine and are still flexible, they are fine to use.
It's healthy and suitable to most dietary requirements
Since the only starch is made from rice, the roll is gluten-free, and if you don't put too many rice noodles inside, the calories can be very low. Also if you don't add meat, they are vegan.The usual ingredients are pork, shrimp, glass noodles, mushrooms, and shallots, but there are many different varieties (in the West, they are normally vegetarian). These rolls are served hot and are dipped in a soy sauce or fish sauce variation.
Rice paper is a dried product so like most others that are similar, storing it in a cool, dry location such as a pantry, is fine. However, keeping it in the fridge will guarantee that it stays dry and may even extend the storage time.

Without any seasoning, it tastes like plain boiled rice. If kept perfectly dry, it won't 'go bad', just like dry, raw rice grains. You'll know it's gone bad if the sheets are stuck together, or have little water drop shaped holes in it.

Edible rice paper is used for making fresh summer rolls (salad rolls) or fried spring rolls in Vietnamese cuisine, where the rice paper is called bánh tráng or bánh đa nem. Ingredients of the food rice paper include white rice flour, tapioca flour, salt, and water.
Spring roll wrappers are the traditional choice for Vietnamese and Thai spring rolls. Made from a paste of rice flour and water that is stamped into bamboo mats and dried, rice paper wrappers are translucent, brittle, and delicate—meaning they can be difficult to work with.
Dip rice paper in warm water for about 3-4 seconds, until rice paper becomes moistened with water. After dipping your rice paper in warm water, lay wrapper onto your work surface. Allow rice paper to soak up water and become soft and pliable ( about 30 seconds to 1 minute) before you start to roll.

Too impatient and greedy. Which also may be why my spring rolls fall apart when I try to deep fry them – they are just too stuffed…) And 30 minutes later it's magically spring roll time! But if you don't have a someone else to do the wrapping, don't panic, it's not hard really.
Use cool water to soften the rice paper rolls.
Many recipes suggest soaking the rice paper wrappers in warm water to quickly soften them, but this makes the paper more fragile and more sticky. Instead use cool water and give the wrappers just a little more time — I'm talking seconds — to soften before rolling.Soften Rice Wrappers by Dipping Them in the Hot Water
You may have to gently press the wrapper down into the water. The rice paper will soften in approximately 30 seconds. When the wrapper is soft enough to eat (these rolls do not require cooking), remove from water and place on the clean work surface.THE REASON
The main gustatory difference between a spring roll and its egg cousin is that spring rolls have thin, often translucent flour wrappers and usually aren't fried, while egg rolls have thicker, deep-fried wrappings.
