Back at long last with...... Vegetarian Springrolls!

Mmmmmm..... so last weekend I finally decided to put to good usethe springroll wrappers which had been patiently waiting in my freezer since my eagerness buying them at an asian store here in Zurich, and so I estimated the basics to make a simple version of vegetarian springrolls which I was soo pleased to have gotten a very satisfactory result! And the next week made them 3 more times because was craving them so badly :)

Ingredients:

springroll wrappers

1 egg

olive oil
1 head white cabbage (med-small size)
2 carrots
3 medium onions
soy sauce
salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (or something else spicy if desired!)

your favorite sweet-sour-chili dipping sauce


Directions:
I used my food processor to super-fast grate the carrots, and then thinly slice all the cabbage and onions.
Heat a skillet with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, and over med-low heat cook down the whole mix of veggies until soft and mostly translucent.

Add in seasonings, and just a dash of soysauce, stir, then filling's done.

Thaw the wrappers (while filling cools down enough to handle).

Beat the one egg in a bowl (just used for sealing the wrappers.
paint the outside of each wrapper with the beaten egg, plop in an appropriate lump of filling on the diagonal, fold in the sides, the top, then roll the whole thing over onto the final corner (dabbing once more wiht egg to get it to stick nicely).

Once all assembled, I heat the skillet again with just a little olive oil, spread very thinly in the pot, and lightly sautee them till turning golden-brown on two or so sides..

sooo tasty.....
Easy to make other versions, too... I had leftovers from making some other asian dishes the third time, so added in slices of babycorn, or tofu, or mint or basil leaves... all delicious!

hrmm... I think I know what's for dinner tonight!!
