SHANGHAI PORK AND SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS



Shanghai Pork and Shrimp Spring Rolls image

I decided to make another variation on classic spring rolls other than mine that I've been using and chose this recipe based on ingredients used. The recipe comes from A. Nguyen "Asian Dumplings". Although her recipes calls for 18-20 spring rolls, I find 18 better than 20 unless you increase the ingredient amount a bit more or prefer thinner spring rolls. I have altered the recipe somewhat to make it easier for my own cooking method and taste. There are several variations on shaping spring rolls and I've decided to use a method that may be easiest to work for most people. Tastes wonderful with Sweet and Sour Sauce, Recipe #447509 I've posted from the same book.

Time 20m

Yield 18-20 spring rolls

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 lb pork tenderloin or 1/2 lb pork sirloin roast, cut into 2 inch long matchsticks
1/3 lb medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and coarsely chopped
3 dried shiitake mushrooms (large)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup shredded bamboo shoot
1/2 lb bean sprouts
salt, to your taste
pepper, to your taste
18 spring rolls, skins
oil (for deep frying)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, soy sauce, pork, and shrimp in a bowl and stir. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, rehydrate shitake mushrooms in hot water just enough to cover until softened. Depending on mushrooms used this can take anywhere between 15-30 minutes to soften. Reserve the liquid for dissolving cornstarch. Cut off the stem and cut into very thin match stick pieces.
  • In a small cup dissolve 1 1/2 T cornstarch with 3 T of reserved mushroom soaking liquid. This will be used to thicken the filling mixture.
  • Heat 1 1/2 T oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and add ginger and garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned and add pork and shrimp mixture. Stir constantly to separate the pork pieces and shrimp into nuggets and cook for about 2 minutes. Do not overcook. Transfer to a dish.
  • Add the remaining 1 1/2 T oil to the skillet on medium high heat. Add shitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes stirring constantly. Return the pork and shrimp mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Lower the heat and give the cornstarch mixture a stir and pour over the filling. Cook for about 30 seconds to bind the mixture. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely.
  • In a small cup combine 1 T cornstarch with 1/2 C water to seal spring roll skin.
  • Lay a spring roll skin on the work surface making sure one of the pointy corner is facing you. Put about 2 T of filling slightly below the center towards you and form into log shape using your fingers.
  • Lift the bottom edge towards you up and over the filling tucking the point under it. Fold in the sides and brush the upper edges with cornstarch and water mixture. Roll away from you (bottom up) to seal. Set the finished rolls seam side down on the baking sheet covered with wax paper or aluminum foil and keep covered with a kitchen towel to prevent drying.
  • Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet over medium high to about 350F degrees. Slide in a few spring rolls and fry, turning as needed for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and very crisp.
  • Remove from the oil and drain. Continue with the remaining rolls. To serve, cut diagonally in half. Serve with a vinegar or dipping sauce of your choice.

Yield Makes 40 spring rolls

Number Of Ingredients 26

For the spring rolls:
2 ounces cellophane (bean-thread) noodles*, soaked in boiling-hot water to cover for 20 minutes, drained well, and chopped
6 dried shiitake mushrooms*, soaked in hot water to cover for 20 minutes, rinsed, squeezed dry, the stems discarded, and the caps sliced thin
3/4 pound lean ground pork
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 large shallots, minced
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1 large carrot, shredded
1/3 cup chopped fresh coriander
1/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 cup chopped mung bean sprouts*
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
20 spring-roll wrappers*
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg with 1 teaspoon water
vegetable oil for deep-frying
For the dipping sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
a 2-inch fresh red or green chili, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves), or 1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
scallion brushes for garnish if desired
*available at Asian markets, some specialty foods shops, and many supermarkets

Steps:

  • Make the spring rolls:
  • In a large bowl combine well the noodles, the mushrooms, the pork, the garlic, the shallots, the gingerroot, the carrot, the coriander, the mint, the sprouts, the soy sauce, the salt, and the sugar. Put 1 spring-roll wrapper on a work surface, keeping the remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap, cut it in half diagonally, and arrange one half with the longest side facing you. Spread a rounded tablespoon of the filling down the long side, leaving a 2-inch border at each end, and brush the edges with some of the egg wash. Fold the corners of the long side over the filling and, rolling away from you, roll up the filling in the wrapper, sealing the roll, using some of the remaining egg wash if necessary. Make more spring rolls with the remaining filling, wrappers, and egg wash in the same manner, transferring them as they are made to a wax-paper-lined baking sheet and keeping them covered with plastic wrap. In a deep fryer heat 1 1/4 inches of the oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the spring rolls in batches, turning them, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden, transferring them as they are fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. The spring rolls may be made 5 days in advance, cooled completely, and kept frozen in plastic freezer bags. Reheat the rolls, unthawed, on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in a preheated 450°F. oven for 10 minutes.
  • Make the dipping sauce:
  • In a small bowl stir together the soy sauce, the lime juice, the water, the garlic paste, the sugar, and the chili.
  • Cut the spring rolls diagonally into 1-inch-thick slices if desired. Arrange the spring rolls or slices on a platter with the dipping sauce and garnish the platter with the scallion brushes.
  • To make brush scallions:
  • Trim the roots and the green parts from scallions, leaving about 2 1/2 inches of stalk. Make crisscross cuts about 1/2 inch deep at both ends of each stalk and spread the fringed ends gently. Put the scallions in a bowl of ice and cold water and chill them for 2 hours, or until the fringed ends have curled. Drain the scallions well.

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Ensure all ingredients are prepped and measured before starting. Finely chop vegetables and herbs for even cooking and consistent texture.
  • Wrappers: Use fresh spring roll wrappers for the best results. If they are dry, briefly soak them in warm water to soften.
  • Filling: Use a variety of vegetables, proteins, and herbs for a flavorful and colorful filling. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Rolling: Place the filling diagonally near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly.
  • Frying: Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is between 350-375°F (175-190°C). Fry the spring rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Dipping Sauce: Serve the spring rolls with a flavorful dipping sauce. Popular options include sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or a simple mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili.

Conclusion:

Asian Pork and Shrimp Spring Rolls offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making them a popular appetizer or main course. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create crispy, flavorful spring rolls that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different fillings and dipping sauces to find your perfect combination.
