VEGGIE SPRING ROLLS RECIPE (BAKED) | CHINESE VEGETABLE SPRING ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• Transfer the rice noodles into a bowl, break them roughly into smaller pieces. Pour hot water over the rice noodles, and let it sit undisturbed for 4 minutes.
• In the meanwhile, start with the veggie filling. Heat corn oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add minced ginger and garlic, sauté until fragrant.
• Add the carrots, sauté for 30 seconds, add the remaining veggies, stir-fry for another minute.
• Add sprouts, drain the softened rice noodles and add it to the pan as well. Give everything a quick stir.
• Add light soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Chinese 5 spice powder, pepper, and a little salt. Mix it well, switch off the heat, and add in the scallion greens.
• Transfer the mixture to a tray, spread it out and let it cool down about 2-3 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• How to wrap spring rolls- Place the required spring roll wrappers under a damp cloth. Take a sheet of spring roll wrapper on a clean surface, one corner facing you. Place about 2 tbsp of filling about 1 inch away from one corner of the sheet. Take that corner and tuck it tightly over the filling. Roll till you reach the center of the sheet. Then fold both the left and right corners towards the center and continue rolling. Once you reach the opposite corner of the roll, brush the edges of that corner with cornstarch paste and stick it to the roll, ensuring that it is sealed well.
• Prepare the rest of the spring rolls in the same way, while keeping them covered under a damp kitchen napkin as you prepare the remaining. Transfer the spring rolls to a tray greased with corn oil. Place the spring rolls, seam side down. Brush the top of the spring rolls with Mazola corn oil.
• Bake at 400 degrees F on the upper rack for 18-20 mins, flipping midway until both sides are golden brown.
• Transfer to the serving platter. Serve with sweet chilli sauce, szechuan sauce or any dipping sauce of your choice.

BAKED VEGETARIAN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Remove the frozen spring roll wrappers from the freezer and allow to come to room temperature.
• Soak the glass noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, until soft. In a large skillet over medium heat combine the 2 tsp. vegetable oil, soy sauce, softened noodles, carrots, green beans, and mushrooms over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the ingredients are evenly combined and fragrant, about 5 minutes. (The carrots and green beans should be tender, but still slightly crisp.)
• Working with one wrapper at a time, place a heaping tablespoon of the glass noodle and vegetable filling in the lower half of the wrapper. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up to the center of the wrapper to enclose the filling. Turn the right and left hand sides of the wrappers into the middle and roll the wrapper up towards the top. (See the pictures above.)
• Place the filled spring rolls seam-side down on parchment paper. At this point the rolls can be refrigerated for up to a day. Cover them with a slightly dampened paper towel to keep them from drying out.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a small bowl. Brush a large baking sheet with vegetable oil. Place the spring rolls on the baking sheet, seam-side down. Lightly brush the tops of the spring rolls with the remaining vegetable oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, gently turning the spring rolls halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and crisp.

• Toss the cabbage and carrot with the hot ham mixture in a large bowl. Add the crab, cilantro, chili-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, the soy sauce and vinegar; toss.
• Wrap the spring rolls (see right). Pierce each roll with a skewer in a few places to prevent bursting.
• Place a rack in a baking dish and brush with vegetable oil. Mix the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil; lightly brush on rolls. Place the rolls on the rack; bake until golden on top, about 15 minutes. Turn the rolls; bake until golden and crisp, 8 to 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Soak the cellophane noodles in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain the noodles and cut into pieces about 3 inches long.
• To make the filling, in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook until light brown. Add the carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the shiitake and tree ear mushrooms and cabbage and cook, stirring, until the cabbage is wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Add the salt, pepper, and sugar, and stir until combined. Add the bean sprouts and stir for about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cellophane noodles and stir for another minute. Add the fried tofu, stirring gently to combine. Transfer the filling to a colander and set aside until the mixture is well drained.
• Fill a large bowl with very warm water. Dip one sheet of rice paper halfway into the water and quickly rotate to moisten the entire sheet. Lay the wet rice paper on a flat work surface. Spread about 1/3 cup of the filling over the bottom third of the rice paper. Spread about 1/4 cup of the vermicelli over the filling, and top with a few mint leaves. Fold in the left and right sides of the rice paper, then fold the bottom edge up and over the filling tightly and roll toward the top end to form a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining rice paper and filling.
• The rolls can be made up to 2 hours in advance. Cover the rolls with a damp towel until ready to serve. Just before serving, cut each roll crosswise into three or four pieces and serve with the peanut sauce.
