VEGAN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat extra virgin olive oil in a wok (1 tablespoon is enough), add the vegetables (the sliced garlic, julienned onion, carrots and cabbage, and soy sprouts) and the tamari sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium-high heat.
• You can see how to make the vegan spring rolls in the sixth photo of this post. You only have to place wrapper like diamond, place 2 tablespoons of filling near corner, tightly roll the wrapper, fold over left side, fold over right side, paint a little water along the edge and close it up.
• Heat plenty of extra virgin olive oil in the wok and when it's very hot, add the spring rolls and cook them for about 1 minute or until both sides are golden brown.

VEGETARIAN SPRING ROLLS

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.

VEGAN RAINBOW SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Have all your ingredients prepared and ready to go before you start assembling the rolls. Dip a spring roll wrapper into a shallow bowl of water until it just softens (don't leave it too long or you'll be left with a gluey mess). Put the wet wrapper on a chopping board, then top with a couple of mint and basil leaves (if using), and some spring onion, courgette, carrot, mango, chilli and peanuts (if using).
• Starting with the edge nearest to you, fold the wrapper into the centre so that it covers half the filling. Fold in both of the shorter ends, then, rolling away from you, fold the wrapper over so that the entire filling is encased. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings to make 12 spring rolls. Can be made in the morning and kept in the fridge for later.
• To serve, cut the spring rolls in half on the diagonal. Serve with sweet chilli dipping sauce on the side.

• Place the noodles in a bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Let stand for 4 minutes.
• Drain, rinse in cold water and drain again.
• Cut into 2-inch lengths.
• Heat the peanut oil in a wok over high heat.
• Add the garlic, ginger, scallions, beansprouts, cabbage and carrot and fry for a minute.
• Stir in the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, pepper, cilantro and mint and take off the heat.
• Stir in the rice noodles.
• Arrange the wrappers on the counter, pointing diagonally.
• Spoon a bit of the filling onto the bottom corner of the wrapper.
• Roll the point of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the side points inward over the filling.
• Continue to roll up the wrapper away from you, using a bit of water to seal the roll if needed.
• Brush with oil and bake in a 400 F oven until crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
• You may want to flip the spring rolls halfway through baking.
• You can also freeze these unbaked and then bake from frozen. This will take about 25 minutes.

• Two quick sauces (or use hoisin, hot mustard, etc): In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and sesame oil.
• In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut oil, hot sesame oil, garlic and sugar.
• Serve as a dipping sauce with the spring rolls.
