Lumpiang Prito (Fried Vegetable Spring Rolls) Filipino food.

This recipe will make about 30 spring rolls.

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, chopped or crushed

1 c. shredded cooked chicken meat

2 carrots, julienned

1 turnip shredded, julienned

1 sweet potato, julienned

1 piece of bamboo shoot, julienned

1 cup of soaked and julienned wood ears, black fungus, Chinese mushrooms

1 bunch of spring onions, cut into rings (about 1/2 c.)

6 pieces of fried tofu, julienned

2 tbsps. of oyster sauce

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

19 cm x  19 cm. spring roll wrappers

1 tbsp. of flour plus 1 tbsp. of water

oil for deep frying.

Method:

Microwave the carrots and turnip separately for 1 1/2 minutes each. Microwave the sweet potato for 1 minute.

Heat up a wok and add 2 tbsps. of cooking oil. Add the garlic and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, if using and stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the vegetables, wood ear and tofu. Season with 2 tbsps. oyster sauce and 1/4 tsp. black pepper. Stir fry until hot and fragrant (about 4 minutes). The vegetables should still be crisp. 

You may need to adjust your seasonings because the sizes of the vegetables vary. 

Transfer to a colander and leave to cool.

Separate the spring roll wrappers. Cover with a tea towel to keep them from drying. Spoon 2 tbsps. of filling near one corner and fold the corner over it. Fold the right and left corner towards the middle, putting the creases where the filling ends.

Put a flat leaf parsley near the corner before you roll, if you wish. Make a paste with flour and water to stick the end corner.

Heat up some oil for deep frying. Fry the rolls a few at a time until golden and crisp (2-3 minutes). Fry for just 1 minute if freezing.They are traditionally served with a vinegar and garlic dip or a soy and ginger dip:

1"x1" ginger, cut in fine strips

1 tbsp. of brown sugar

2 tbsps. light soy sauce

1/2 c. vinegar

1/2 tsp. sesame oil

1/2 red finger chilli in diagonal slices

Mix together and serve as dip for the spring rolls.
