1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
Soy sauce, to taste
1/4 cup sake
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pound fresh bean sprouts, washed and patted dry
1/4 cup green onions, green part only
20 (6-inch) egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
Oil, for frying
Essence, recipe follows
1 1/4 cups Sweet and Sour Sauce, recipe follows
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 cup finely diced pineapple
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the fryer.
  • In a wok, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork. Season with salt and pepper. Stir fry for 3 minutes. Add the onions and garlic, continue to cook for 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Season with the sesame oil, soy sauce, sake and sugar. Add the sprouts and green onions and mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
  • To assemble, spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling in a rectangular shape on the center of each wrapper. Fold in the ends toward the center about 1/4-inch. Then, beginning at the bottom, roll up the wrapper, like a jelly roll, using a little of the egg wash to seal the end tightly. Repeat until all of the egg rolls are done.
  • Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown, stirring occasionally for overall browning, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season the egg rolls with Essence. Serve warm with the Sweet and Sour Sauce.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

  • Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Stir in the pineapple, vinegar, ketchup, chili garlic sauce, and the sugar. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth. Add to the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, remove from the heat, and cool slightly.
  • Pour the sauce into a small food processor or blender and pulse several times, if desired. Alternatively, leave the dipping sauce chunky. Serve warm.

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

2 tablespoons canola oil, plus additional for deep frying
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
2 serrano chiles, stemmed and finely chopped
1/2 pound ground pork (may substitute ground turkey)
1 cup shredded Chinese cabbage
1 cup bamboo shoots, rinsed and julienned
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup black mushrooms, soaked and julienned
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
Salt and pepper
1 cup chopped scallions, both white and green parts
1 cup bean threads, soaked in warm water to cover until soft (10 to 15 minutes), drained well, and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 (1-pound) package egg roll wrappers
1 egg beaten with 1/4 cup water, for egg wash
Sweet and Sour Sauce, recipe follows
Spicy Mustard, recipe follows
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
2 cups fresh pineapple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon red chile flakes
3/4 cups pineapple, cut into cubes
1/2 cup mango, cut into cubes
1/4 cup each red and green peppers, 1/2 inch dice
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
1/3 cup dry mustard, mixed with 1/4 cup water
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, ginger, and chiles and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Do not allow the aromatics to burn. Add the pork and stir-fry until just cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cabbage, bamboo shoots, soy sauce, mushrooms, wine and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the cornstarch slurry. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling mixture to a medium bowl and add the scallions and the bean threads to the cooled mixture. Sir to blend.
  • Dampen a kitchen towel. Place 5 wrappers on a work surface with 1 point each near you and cover the remainder with the cloth to prevent drying. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling on the wrappers, just above the near corners. Bring the corner nearest you up over the filling and roll halfway; brush the edges with the egg wash, then fold in the side corners and continue rolling to enclose the filling completely. Roll as tightly as possible. Cover with the cloth and allow the rolls to rest, seam side down; this allows the egg to set. Fill and roll the remaining wrappers, cover, and allow the rolls to rest at least 2 minutes.
  • Fill a fryer or heavy medium pot 1/3 full with the oil and heat to 350 degrees over high heat. Add the egg rolls 4 to 6 at a time and fry them until light golden, turning as needed, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Fry again at 350 degrees (until golden) just before serving for extra crispiness.
  • To Serve: Place a spoonful of the Sweet and Sour Sauce in the middle of a serving plate. Slice the rolls on the diagonal and arrange 3 of them around the sauce. Drizzle the spicy mustard around the outside of the plate and serve.
  • In a saucepan over medium high heat, add the vinegar, soy sauce, wine, pineapple juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium. Add the chile flakes, pineapple, mango, peppers, and cornstarch, and let simmer for 2 minutes. Serve hot.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mustards, and sugar until a smooth paste is formed.
