Posted by Kim on December 29, 2005, 11:35 pm, in reply to " Egg Roll Recipe for you TY" This Egg Roll recipe is Thai-style with a filling of either pork or chicken and crab meat combined (or all 3 if you like). Add shredded carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, and black tree ear mushrooms (also known as black jelly fungus) for texture and balance. Season the mixture with Thai soy sauce, black pepper, sea salt and fresh garlic. Roll up in fresh egg roll wrappers (available in larger supermarkets). Egg rolls are the perfect holiday party food because you can prepare in advance and freeze, cooking them before the guests arrive, the day of the party. Serve with ready-prepared Sweet Chili Sauce or make your own Egg Roll Sauce (3.5 oz) glass noodles (aka mung bean noodles) 1. Soak the noodles until soft, then cut into short lengths. 2. Mix pork, crab meat, egg, cabbage, carrot, mushroom, pepper, salt, and light soy sauce together and then add the noodles and mix well. 3. Fry the garlic in 3 tbsp.oil and then add the pork-and-noodle mixture. Fry until fairly dry, then dip up and set aside to cool. 4. Place a tablespoon of the filling on an egg roll sheet, fold the sheet over the filling, fold about half a turn, fold in the ends to close them; then, rollup tightly, sealing the sheet closed with the paste (see below). 5. Deep fry in plenty of oil over low heat until crisp and golden brown. 6. Serve with sauce, sliced cucumber, and sweet basil leaves. Yield about 150 pieces. 6-8 servings Paste for sealing eggrolls and preparing Egg Roll Sauce Notes on advance preparation: You may prepare in advance as egg rolls freeze excellently. Thaw out in the refrigerator overnight before deep frying in hot cooking oil (fry in light flavored oils like safflower, peanut, but please do not use olive oil).
