Spring Rolls

by NanaApril

 

Preparation:

....Sauce (1)....Mix together and SET ASIDE....

2 T. SOY SAUCE

2 T. WATER

1-1/2 T. SUGAR

 

....Sauce (2)....Mix together and SET ASIDE....

3 T. CORNSTARCH

1/2 C. Cold WATER

 

....Vegetables....Mince in a food processor and SET ASIDE....

3 med. CARROTS

2 lg. ONIONS

1 stalk CELERY

6 MUSHROOMS

1 can WATER CHESTNUTS

 

Step 1....Fry in a very large skillet....1 lb. Ground BEEF

....Scramble....and spoon off any excess fat....

 

Step 2....STIR IN the prepared vegetables and cook until tender....

 

Step 3....Stir in SAUCE (1) and cook 10 minutes....

 

Step 4....Turn skillet on high heat....

....Stir SAUCE (2) well and stir it into the skillet....

....Stirring and cooking for 3 minutes....

 

Let mixture cool completely before wrapping.

 

Step 5....Mix together to make a paste....

....This will be your glue....Apply with a brush or finger tip....

2 T. FLOUR

1/3 C. WATER

 

The Wrapping:

1 package Spring Roll Wrappers

1....Lay one wrapper on the counter before you

2....Place 2 or 3 tsp. of the mixture onto a wrapper about 1/4 the distance from the edge closest to you

6....Fold the edge closest to you over the mixture ONCE

4....Fold the right side of the wrapper over ONCE

5....Fold the left side of the wrapper over ONCE

6....Roll the wrapper tightly over the mixture leaving the last inch unwrapped

7....Apply glue to the last inch of wrapper

8....Roll up to glue and seal

9....Lay on paper toweled cookie sheet, seal side down, to dry

Continue to fill wrappers until all the mixture has been used or you run out of wrappers.

I must say that at this point it is nice if you have another person helping you wrap.

 

The Decision:

Now is the time to decide how many you want to cook and how many you wish to freeze. TO FREEZE: Wrap 6 uncooked spring rolls in a single layer with plastic wrap. Stack 2 together and wrap tightly with either freezer paper or foil. Make sure to put a tag on it with a date. I have kept them in the freezer for almost a year but it is best if you cook and eat them within 6 months.

 

The Cooking:

Heat your dry wok over high heat. If your wok comes with a drip rack put it in place before turning on the burner. Pour oil into your wok, using 1/2 Peanut Oil and 1/2 Canola Oil, just deep enough that your spring rolls will not touch the bottom or sides of the wok. Gently place 3 spring rolls into the hot oil and cook until golden brown. Remember your filling is already cooked completely so there is need to worry about that. Drain on your rack and place on a paper toweled cookie sheet in a 200 degree F oven to keep warm.

 

Serve with a dipping sauce.
