Elegant Vegetable Rolls Recipes

VEGETABLE SPRING ROLLS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce and ginger in a small bowl. Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons water until desired consistency is reached; set aside. Working one at a time, wet rice paper for 10-15 seconds and transfer to a work surface. Place lettuce, basil, mint and cilantro in the center of each wrapper; top with carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, cucumber and avocado; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the bottom edge of the wrap tightly over the filling and then folding in the sides, rolling from bottom to top until the top of the sheet is reached, being careful not to tear the rice paper; cover with damp paper towels. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Serve immediately with peanut sauce.

Steps:

• Sauté 1 tablespoons oil, garlic and red pepper flakes over high heat 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add cole slaw mix and mushrooms and sauté 3 more minutes. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper.
• Separate dough into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. Place 1/4 of vegetable filling on short side of rectangle. Fold up long sides to cover mixture and then roll like and egg roll. Place on a baking sheet, folded side down. Bake at 400 for 13-18 minutes, or until golden.

VEGETARIAN SAUSAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• Put the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until they're very finely chopped.
• Put half the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the leeks along with a pinch of salt. Fry gently for 15 mins or until softened and golden brown. Scrape the leeks out of the pan and into a bowl. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and fry the mushrooms for 10 mins over a medium heat. Add the garlic, sage, miso and mustard and fry for another minute, then leave to cool slightly.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Combine the mushroom mixture with the leeks in a bowl, add the chestnuts, cheese and breadcrumbs. Season lightly to taste (the miso and leeks will add salt, so don't add too much) and work everything together until you have a slightly stodgy mixture.
• Unravel the puff pastry on a floured surface, then roll out so one side measures about 40cm. Push the mushroom mixture down the centre of the pastry. Bring the pastry around the mixture and seal the edges with a fork, then cut into 8 pieces. Lay on a lined baking sheet and brush each one with the beaten egg. Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until deep, golden brown. Allow to cool a little before eating.

VEGETARIAN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Soak the rice noodles in cold water for 15 mins until pliable, then drain. Meanwhile, combine the cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts and the whites of the spring onions in a large bowl. Heat the sesame oil in a large pan and tip in the cabbage mixture. Cook over a high heat for 1-2 mins until the cabbage has wilted slightly. Add the soy sauce and Shaoxing wine. Cook until reduced slightly and add the drained noodles, coriander, and green parts of the spring onion, tossing well to ensure everything is evenly covered. Transfer to a plate and spread out to cool slightly.
• Once the mixture has cooled slightly, arrange a spring roll wrapper on your worktop in a diamond shape. Place a heaped tablespoon onto the middle of the pastry in a sausage shape. Bring up the bottom corner of the pastry and fold over the top corner. Bring over the pastry from the left side over the top of the filling and roll into shape, making sure the ends stay tucked in. Seal the final corner with a little water.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan to 180C, ensuring the pan is no more than two-thirds full. Cook the spring rolls in batches for 4-5 mins until golden. If you don't have a thermometer, drop a pinch of spring roll wrapper into the oil - it will sizzle when ready. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven while you continue to fry. Combine all the ingredients for the spicy dipping sauce in a small bowl, taste and add more chilli oil if you like. Serve the spring rolls with the spicy dipping sauce or some sweet chilli sauce.
