At Spice Market, Jean-Georges Vongerichten fills spring rolls with oyster mushrooms and shiitakes, and spices them with ginger, lemon zest, garlic and green chilies. They recall a trip he took to Singapore years ago.

Time 1h

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup sambal oelek chili sauce (sold at Asian groceries)
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
8 tablespoons butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound oyster or other mushrooms, stemmed, sliced 1/2-inch thick
3/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon minced green Thai chili
Salt
1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest (preferably use a Microplane)
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled ginger (preferably use a Microplane)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil, or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 large egg yolk, beaten
8 spring roll wrappers
3 cups vegetable oil, or as needed
Ground white pepper, optional
8 leaves Boston lettuce

Steps:

  • To make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine sambal oelek, honey, lemon juice, rice wine vinegar and salt. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate up to a week.
  • To make the spring rolls: Combine butter and garlic in a sauté pan over medium high heat, and stir until butter is foamy and garlic is fragrant but not browned. Add oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, chili and salt to taste. Cover and cook over medium heat until mushrooms have released their juices and are soft and glazed, about 6 minutes. Add lemon zest, ginger and chervil or tarragon, and sauté 1 minute. Remove from heat and spread across a small plate. Place in the freezer, uncovered, mixing occasionally until very cold, about 15 minutes.
  • Place a spring roll wrapper in front of you, like a diamond, so a point faces you. Lightly brush the four corners of the wrapper with beaten egg yolk. Place 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture into the bottom quarter of the wrapper. Starting from the bottom corner, roll the wrapper, folding in the side corners so they get wrapped up, and keep rolling until closed. Repeat to make 8 rolls.
  • In a deep fryer, wok or skillet, heat oil to 350 degrees. Add spring rolls, working in batches if necessary, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. If desired, season lightly with salt and white pepper. Divide dipping sauce among 4 very small bowls, and place a bowl on each of 4 plates. Place 2 lettuce leaves on each plate, place a spring roll on each leaf. Wrap spring rolls in the lettuce and dip.

Provided by Food Network

Yield 48 to 60 miniature spring roll

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 pound assorted mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster or hanshimiji
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 large shallots, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
2 teaspoons five spice powder
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Asian toasted sesame oil
1 pound package egg roll wrappers
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup peanut oil for frying
1/4 cup warm honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 pound raw shrimp, peeled, de-veined, and roughly chopped
1/2 cup bok choy, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove any hard fibrous stems from the mushrooms and clean carefully by brushing the mushrooms with a damp cloth or mushroom brush to remove excess dirt. Place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse quickly to chop into 1/4-inch bits.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms to the pan and saute until the mushrooms begin to sweat, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chopped shallots and ginger and saute until translucent. Sprinkle in the five spice powder and chopped scallions, season with salt and pepper and stir in the sesame oil. Set aside to cool.
  • Lay out the egg roll wrappers and cut into 4 equal squares. Brush a square of wrapper with some water, place a dollop of the mushroom mixture in the center and roll the sides of the wrapper inwards to enclose the filling. Rolling away from yourself, roll up the wrapper into a cigar shape and enclose the filling completely. Seal the ends with some of the water. Continue to finish filling the wrappers and refrigerate them several hours to firm them before cooking.
  • Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 345 degrees. Fry the spring rolls, in batches, until crisp. In a bowl, combine the ingredients of the dipping sauce and serve with the spring rolls.
  • Place all of the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and pulse rapidly to a very coarse texture. Do not make too soft or pasty. Fill the springroll wrappers with the shrimp filling and follow all directions for cooking.;

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM BULGOGI LETTUCE WRAPS



Chicken and Mushroom Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps image

The savory Korean bulgogi marinade in this recipe is made with pantry items and livens up just about anything you put it on. Here, the soy-scallion-ginger marinade is used on boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but it can also be brushed on tofu, zucchini or bell peppers for a satisfying vegetarian meal. As the meat cooks, the marinade caramelizes into a sweet-salty sticky glaze that coats the chicken. Serving the grilled chicken and vegetables in lettuce cups is a fun way to enjoy the meal. Korean condiments like kimchi and gochujang are traditional bulgogi accompaniments, but shredded cabbage, salsa or even guacamole would also work. Leftovers can be refrigerated overnight, then chopped and tossed with salad greens.

8 ounces white button mushrooms, halved, or quartered if large
Lettuce leaves, such as green leaf, butter lettuce or romaine
Any combination of cooked short-grain rice, kimchi, gochujang or toasted sesame oil, for serving
