Spring Rolls

Its spring rolls for dinner tonight.
This is something I usually prepare whenever I am sick of having rice & noods.
And the best part, its oven baked, no oily kitchen @ the end of the day.

All U need are spring roll wrappers & whatever U have in your fridge.
Do a simple stir-fry & bake them in a moderate high oven for 20 mins or till they achieve a golden hue.
I would recommend using wrappers made with eggs.
The normal white sheets tend to harden immediately after their hot sauna.
It’s like biting into rubber…..not a good sign right!

The ingredients I used today are: (In the order as the above pix)

• Wong bok - cut in to small pieces
• Dried mushroom - soaked till soft & julienned
• Enoki mushrooms - washed & seperated into smaller strips
• Diced chicken - marinated with Japanese soy, sesame oil & white pepper
• Onions - julienned
• Bean sprouts - tails off
• Water chestnuts - julienned (must add - for the crunch)
• Coriander - chopped finely
• Garlic - minced
• I forgot the carrots this time…so no splashes of orangey red in the rolls

Condiments: (Pls gauge them yourself)

• Chicken seasoning powder
• Oyster sauce
• Sugar
• White pepper
• Chinese cooking wine

How to:

1. Start off with a hot, hot wok. Swill the whole wok with oil & let the heat build up.
2. Fry the garlic for a few mins & add onions, cook the onions till soft. Then add the chicken seasoning powder to flavour the onions.
3. Add the chicken & fry for a couple of mins till chicken meat turned white.
4. Dried mushrooms next and stir a while.
5. Followed by wong bok, then add the oyster sauce, sugar & white pepper…allow everything to simmer for a few minutes until the wong bok are cooked but not mushy.
6. Add the bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms & water chestnuts….stir for a few minutes till everything are well mixed.
7. As for the Chinese cooking wine, pour in along the edge of the wok…(around twice).
8. A final stir & the ingredients are ready.
9. U will find a lot of broth, *here’s the hardest step*, U gotta sieve it.
   Allow the broth to drain & the ingredients to cool slightly before rolling them. Mix in the coriander just before wrapping.
10. Pop them in the oven & dinner’s ready in 20 mins.
