Baked Spring Rolls

 


Ingredients:
2 tsp vegetable oil 
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped         
1 small onion, sliced 
2 carrots, cut in very thin sticks 
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal 
¼ lb green beans, thinly sliced on the diagonal (about 1cup/250ml) 
10 shiitake or regular mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced 
2 cups chopped napa cabbage 
2 cups bean sprouts 
3 green onions, sliced on the diagonal 
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley 
2 tbsp oyster sauce or hoisin sauce 
1 tsp sesame oil 
16 sheets phyllo pastry 
¼ cup vegetable oil 

Dipping Sauce 
1 cup liquid from vegetables above (add stock or water if necessary) 
1 tbsp cornstarch 
2 tbsp cold water 
½ tsp hot chili paste 
                                                        

Instructions:
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat.  Add garlic and onion and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.  Add carrots, celery and green beans.  Cook for 2 minutes. 

Add mushrooms and cabbage and cook for 2 minutes.  Add bean sprouts.  Heat. Stir in green onions, cilantro, oyster sauce and sesame oil.  Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.  Cool. 

Place filling in a strainer set over a bowl to catch any juices.  You should have about 4 cups/1 L filling.

Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time (keep the rest covered with a piece of plastic wrap and a damp tea towel), cut phyllo in half.  Fold each piece in half. Place 1 1/2 tbsp/20 ml filling on phyllo and fold up bottom point.  Fold in two sides and roll up.  Brush with oil.  Arrange on baking sheet in a single layer.  Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling. 

Bake spring rolls in a preheated 375F/190C oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until browned and crisp. 

Meanwhile, to make sauce, measure liquid from vegetables and add enough stock or water to measure 1 cup/250 ml.  Heat in a small saucepan.  Combine cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl.  Add to sauce and heat until thick.  Stir in hot chili paste.  Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.  Serve dipping sauce with spring rolls.
