Ingredients
| 10g | Glass noodles |
| 150g | Vegetables: carrots, zucchini, leeks, white cabbage |
| 20g | Fresh Mu-Err mushrooms (shitake mushrooms) from an Asia Shop |
| 10g | Bean sprouts |
| ca. 1 ½ ts | Salt |
| ¼ ts | White pepper |
| ½ ts | Sugar |
| ½ ts | Glutamate from the Asia Shop |
| 2 ts | Sesame oil |
| 8 | Frozen, square flour spring roll sheets – 20 cm; thaw before use, from the Asia Shop |
| 1 | Egg yoke |
| Sunflower oil for frying |
Preparation
1. Break the glass noodles into pieces about 5 cm long and pour boiling water over them. Allow to soak for about 3 minutes before draining. Place in cold water and allow to cool. Drain and allow to drip dry. Peel carrots and zucchini, cut into long slices with the peeler and then cut into fine strips. Cut the leaks, white cabbage and mushrooms into similar thin strips.
2. Mix the vegetable strips together and then mix in the mushrooms, glass noodles and sprouts. Add 2/3 of the salt. Allow to steep for about 2 hours. Drain off any water.
3. Spice the vegetable mixture with the remaining salt, pepper, sugar, glutamate and sesame oil. Allow to steep for about 1 hour. Salt to taste. Carefully separate the spring roll sheets and immediately wrap in a moist tea towel so that they do not dry out. Spread out one sheet after another with a corner forward on a work surface. Place about 25 g of the vegetable mixture lengthwise in the front quarter of the sheet. Place the sheet corner over it and roll out the filling to the middle of the sheet. Fold the side sheet corners tightly over the vegetables. Spread some egg yoke on the upper sheet corner. Finish rolling and press on to the upper sheet corner.
4. Place enough oil in a deep fat fryer or a wok and heat to 189°C. Deep fry the spring rolls for 1 to 2 minutes until they are slightly browned. Turn them over once while frying.
Serving
