Yeah, I always put my drink closest to me. Not sure what happened there.
This is a great recipe found in a Food & Wine magazine. It is supposedly vegetarian, but my version suspiciously looks like it has ground pork in it. It’s been a while since I made and photographed it, so I cannot be sure. What I do remember is that it was really good.
For the spring rolls, just look online and you’ll find an endless list of ingredients and how to make them. I just used whatever I had in the house. If you have a question about making spring rolls, just post a comment: we welcome them.
A couple of shrimp on top add a little flavor and flare.
What you’ll need:
- .25-cup vegetable oil
- One 0.5-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 6 scallions, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt
- .75-pound shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps sliced
- 6 cups coarsely chopped curly kale leaves (about half of a medium bunch)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups day-old cooked short-grain white rice
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1.5T rice wine vinegar
- 1T oyster sauce—did not use this
Non-fried spring rolls are light and fresh-tasting,, not to mention good for your health.
How to make it:
In a wok or very large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the ginger, scallions and a pinch of salt. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring constantly, until the ginger and scallions are tender, about 2 minutes. Add the sliced shiitakes and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, season with salt and stir-fry until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Make a well in the rice and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the eggs. Cook without stirring until the eggs begin to set at the edge. Using a spatula, scramble the eggs until just set. Stir the eggs into the rice along with the vinegar and oyster sauce and season with salt. Serve immediately.
You should consider making this. It truly is good.
