What You'll Need
extra virgin olive oil
2-3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
1 yellow onion, finely diced
soy sauce
1-2 stalks celery, diced
1 carrot, fine matchstick pieces
4 cups finely shredded green head cabbage
1 cups fresh/frozen corn kernels
mirin
12-14 eggless egg roll wrappers
dipping sauce
One half cup unsweetened orange marmalade
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon brown rice vinegar
1 tablespoons umeboshi vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger juice
One half teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown rice syrup
generous pinch chili powder
Instructions
Place a small amount of oil, garlic and onion in a deep skillet
and turn heat to medium. When the onions begin to sizzle, add
a dash of soy sauce and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Stir in
celery and carrot and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in cabbage,
cover and steam for 1 minute, until it begins to wilt. Remove
cover and add a light seasoning of soy sauce. Saute for 2-3 minutes,
until cabbage is quite limp. Stir in corn and a light seasoning
of mirin and sauté until any liquid has been absorbed.
Lay egg roll wrapper on a dry work surface with one corner facing
you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons filling across the wrapper, close to
you, but leaving the corner exposed so you can fold it over. Fold
the two side corners and the corner closest to you over the filling.
Roll, jellyroll style, forming a cylinder. Moisten the remaining
corner and seal the roll. Lay, seam side down on a dry surface.
Repeat process with remaining filling and dough.
Make the dipping sauce by combining all ingredients in a small
saucepan and cooking over low heat, whisking, for 2-3 minutes.
Adjust seasonings to taste and cook one minute more. Set aside
to cool.
Brush a large skillet generously with oil and place over medium-high
heat. Cook the spring rolls until golden and crispy, turning as
needed to insure even browning.
To serve, slice spring rolls in half crosswise, on the diagonal.
Arrange on a platter with dipping sauce on the side. Serve immediately.
Makes 12-14 eggrolls, 24-28
servings.
