Springroll Variations for Dummies

My cooking skills may barely suffice to sustain my life but will not do enough to keep my sanity. My logic, therefore, is this: If I can prepare a certain type of food, it has gotta be so simple that every Tom, Dick, and Harry or Jane, Jill, and Mary will be able to cope with.
 
Here are two CNY snacks that do not require a lot of skills:
 
a) Meat-floss Mini Springrolls
 
Crunchy, deep-fried mini springrolls a.k.a. popiah stuffed with meat floss (chicken, pork, prawn, squid, whatever you may).  
 
 
Springroll wraps a.k.a. popiah skins cut into quarters
 
Wrapped n rolled with meatfloss

b) Seaweed popiah crisps
 
Crispy and crunchy (albeit oily) fried seaweed sandwiched between springroll wraps.

Go ahead and try making these two CNY snacks. If a dummy like me could do it, you should not have a problem.
