Thai Shrimp Spring Rolls image

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 1h33m

Yield 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 ounces thin rice stick noodles
2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 pound unpeeled large shrimp
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon sambal chili paste
2 teaspoons sugar
1 large cucumber, unpeeled, seeded, and cut into matchsticks
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
Twelve 8 1/2-inch round rice paper wrappers
12 leaves Bibb, Boston, or other soft lettuce
Soy Ginger Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Soak the rice sticks in enough hot water to cover by 1 inch for 15 minutes.
  • Bring 1/2 gallon of water to a boil in a large pot set over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Add the shrimp and cook until just firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the cooked shrimp to a cutting board and cool for 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel, devein, and coarsely chop. Set aside.
  • Return the water-soy sauce to a boil. Drain the rice stick noodles and add to the hot soy-water. Cook until tender, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, chili paste, and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Drain the noodles in a colander. Add the noodles to the lime juice mixture, toss, and set aside while preparing the vegetables.
  • Toss the cucumber, carrot, cilantro, and mint together in a small bowl. Transfer any unabsorbed liquid from the noodles to the cucumber mixture and toss to combine.
  • Cut the noodles into small 1 to 2-inch pieces with kitchen shears.
  • Fill a pie dish with warm water. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into the water for 10 seconds, then transfer to a cutting board until the wrapper is pliable and slightly tacky, approximately 1 minute.
  • Place 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture on the bottom 1/3 of the wrapper nearest to you. Spoon 2 tablespoons chopped shrimp on top of the vegetables. Top with 1/4 cup noodles. Bring the bottom edge of the wrap tightly over the filling, and then fold in the 2 sides. Finish rolling from bottom to top until the entire wrapper is rolled. Be careful not to tear the rice paper. Place on a parchment-lined half sheet pan and cover with a damp tea towel. Repeat with the remaining wrappers until the filling is gone. Wrap each roll in a lettuce leaf and serve with Soy Ginger Dipping Sauce.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a lidded jar and shake well to combine. Serve as a dipping sauce for spring rolls.

SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS



Shrimp Spring Rolls image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 8 spring rolls

Number Of Ingredients 21

16 shrimp (16 to 20 count), peeled and deveined, tails removed
3 cups dry white wine
2 bay leaves
Juice from 1 lime
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 ounces thin rice vermicelli
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and julienned
1/2 red bell pepper, thin julienne
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
8 large rice paper wrappers (8 1/2-inch rounds)
1 jalapeno, cut into 1/8-inch slices
8 fresh Thai basil leaves, chiffonade
Peanut Dipping Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 to 2 teaspoons sambal olek
Chopped roasted peanuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • Score the shrimp on the underside in three equally spaced horizontal cuts. Press firmly on the shrimp to straighten.
  • In a soup pot, combine 4 cups water, the wine, bay leaf, lime juice and salt and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat, add in the shrimp and cover until the shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes. Scoop out the shrimp and shock in ice water to stop the cooking. Then drain and dry. Reserve the poaching liquid, keeping it hot but not simmering.
  • Add the vermicelli to the hot poaching liquid (no need to simmer or boil the water because that may over cook the noodles). Cook until just al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Toss the carrots, cucumbers and red bell peppers with the rice wine vinegar and soy sauce.
  • Dip each rice paper wrapper in warm water, one at a time, for a second (no longer or they will get too soft). The wrapper should still feel somewhat hard when you first start working with it. By the time you finish getting all of your fillings in, the wrapper will have continued to soften. Layer the first one with 2 shrimp, a basil leaf, jalapeno slice, some vermicelli and vegetables. Gently wrap like a tiny burrito and cut on the sharp bias. Serve with Peanut Dipping Sauce.
  • Add the peanut oil to a small saute pan over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute, and then turn off the heat. Then add the peanut butter, hoisin, sambel olek and 3 tablespoons water and mix together. You may need to add a little extra water if the mixture is too thick. Garnish with the chopped peanuts.

Crab-and-Shrimp Spring Rolls in Rice Paper image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup fresh snow peas, strung
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
3/4 pound cooked medium shrimp, shelled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
6 ounces lump crab meat, picked over to remove cartilage
1 cup cooked sticky (glutinous) rice
1 medium-size jalapeno pepper, stemmed and minced (with seeds)
1 medium-size clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 package 6 1/2-inch round rice paper
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup nuoc mam
1/2 cup sherry vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 cups mesclun
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • To make the spring rolls, blanch the snow peas in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain well and cut into fine julienne strips.
  • Blanch the carrot in boiling water for 15 seconds, drain and refresh under cold running water.
  • Place the snow peas, carrots, shrimp, crab meat, rice, jalapeno, garlic and ginger in a large bowl and toss. Add the lemon zest and juice and salt and toss to combine.
  • Lay a large, clean cotton cloth or apron on a work surface. You will need 16 sheets of rice paper; discard any sheets that are cracked or have holes. Dip 1 sheet of rice paper in a bowl of warm water until it is pliable, about 15 seconds. Place on the cloth. Repeat with 3 more sheets of rice paper.
  • Start with the first sheet of soaked rice paper and place 1/4 cup of the filling in a mound in the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then the ends, making a square package. Place the spring roll on a platter or in a shallow baking dish. Repeat until the filling is used. Cover with a damp cloth until ready to serve.

  • To serve, spoon enough sauce onto 8 salad plates to cover just the bottom of the plate. Place 2 spring rolls in the center of each plate, turning them once in the sauce. Surround with the mesclun and then the mint leaves. Serve.

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.

Categories     Pork

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.

FRIED SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS



Fried Shrimp Spring Rolls image

Try these Asian-inspired shrimp spring rolls for lunch, or slice them in bite-sized pieces for a tasty, crunchy appetizer. It's best to resist using a food processor, because it will make the vegetables too watery.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Wraps and Rolls

Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 ounces bean thread noodles
1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
1 cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup finely chopped jicama
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon garlic powder
10 (8 inch) spring roll wrappers
2 cups peanut oil for frying
1 cup hot water
½ cup white sugar
½ cup fish sauce
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon sambal oelek (ground fresh chile paste), or more to taste
20 leaves butter lettuce
4 sprigs fresh mint
4 sprigs cilantro

Steps:

  • Soak bean thread noodles and shiitake mushrooms in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes until soft. Drain. Cut noodles into 1-inch pieces. Mince shiitake mushrooms.
  • Combine noodles, mushrooms, onion, jicama, and green onions in a large bowl.
  • Halve each shrimp lengthwise and cut each half into three 1-inch pieces. Lightly flatten each piece and add to the vegetables. Add egg, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Use a large wooden spoon or your hands to mix together.
  • Cut each spring roll wrapper diagonally into 2 triangles. Separate the wrappers and cover them with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.
  • Place a small bowl of water near the work surface. Working quickly, lay a triangle-shaped spring roll wrapper on a work surface, with the longest side of the triangle closest to you. Place about 2 tablespoons of shrimp mixture in the middle of the triangle, about 1/2 inch from the bottom edge. Bring the left and right points of the triangle over the shrimp mixture, overlapping the points. Begin rolling the wrapper toward the remaining triangle point, tucking the wrapper around the shrimp mixture as you roll.
  • Dip the fingers of your working hand in the water and moisten the edges of the final point, then complete the roll. Set aside on a sheet of waxed paper, and continue forming the remaining spring rolls until you have completed about 15.
  • Pour enough oil in an 11-inch skillet to be 1/2-inch deep and heat over medium-high until shimmering. While the oil is heating, complete the remaining spring rolls.
  • Place 7 or 8 spring rolls into the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Space spring rolls about 1/2 inch apart to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Remove to a cooling rack placed over paper towels. Continue frying in batches until all the spring rolls are done.
  • To make the dipping sauce, combine hot water and sugar and stir until sugar has dissolved. Add fish sauce, lime juice, and sambal oelek and stir to combine. Pour dipping sauce into individual serving bowls.
  • Place each spring roll on a lettuce leaf. Add mint and cilantro leaves. Wrap up, creating a bundle. Serve with dipping sauce.

SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS



Shrimp Spring Rolls image

These crunchy, delicate spring rolls can be fried and frozen for up to 2 weeks. Just let them come to room temperature, then reheat in a 400 degree F oven. The sweet-and-spicy sauce can be used for other fried goodies, like shrimp or chicken tenders. Look for spring roll pastry wrappers, which are slightly different from eggroll and wonton wrappers, in the freezer section of Asian specialty markets.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 35 or 36 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup finely chopped green cabbage
1/2 carrot, shredded (about 1/2 cup packed)
6 ounces small shrimp, finely chopped
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoons soy sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 cup mung bean sprouts
9 large sheets spring roll pastry wrappers, cut into quarters (See Cook's Note)
1 large egg, beaten
Peanut or canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Whisk together 1/3 cup water, the sugar, ketchup, vinegar, Sriracha and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat when the sauce begins to thicken, 30 to 45 seconds. Let cool.
  • For the spring rolls: Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil, ginger and garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the cabbage and carrots, and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, scallions, mirin, soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few cracks of black pepper, and cook, stirring, until the shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the sesame oil. Let the mixture cool for 15 minutes. Fold in the bean sprouts. When completely cool, roughly chop the mixture and set aside.
  • Put 1 spring roll wrapper on a work surface with a point facing you (it should be a diamond shape). Put about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of the wrapper, and spread to make a 1-inch log. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, rolling tightly to keep the spring rolls firm. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling. Brush the top edge of the wrapper with egg. Roll up tightly, pressing to seal the edge. Put finished rolls, seam-side down, on a plate or baking sheet until ready to fry. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with 3 inches of oil, and attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side. Heat the pot over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Fry the spring rolls in batches, 4 or 5 at a time, until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve with the dipping sauce.

SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS WITH PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE



Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce image

Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 14

265 grams jumbo shrimp
10 sheets rice paper wrappers
60 grams bibb lettuce
60 grams thai basil
60 grams carrot, shredded
45 grams bean sprouts
20 pieces cilantro leaves
20 pieces mint leaves
1 cup cucumber
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon peanuts

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, rice vinegar, and peanuts until smooth. Add more water if you would like the consistency thinner.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
  • In a medium pot bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add the dried rice noodles and cook until tender but not mushy, about 4 to 6 minutes or according to package directions. Transfer to a colander and rinse with cold water, refrigerate until ready to use. Do not discard water.
  • Bring the water to a boil, add shrimp and cook for 1 to 1 ½ minutes until shrimp is pink and opaque.
  • Immediately remove the shrimp from the water, drain and cool in the refrigerator.
  • Once cool, remove the shell if still attached and cut the shrimp lengthwise in half to give two pieces. Set aside.
  • Fill a pie dish or large bowl with cool water, large enough to hold the piece of rice paper.
  • Set a damp dish towel on a cutting board. Immerse one rice paper sheet into the water for 15 to 20 seconds.
  • Remove, shaking off excess water and lay flat on the damp cloth. The paper may still seem stiff, however, it will become pliable as you build each roll.

  • Roll up the paper halfway into a cylinder. Fold the sides in an envelope pattern.
  • Lay 2 shrimp halves, cut side down, along the crease. Place a few cilantro and mint leaves next to the shrimp. Keep rolling the paper into a tight cylinder to seal.
  • Repeat with remaining wrappers. Store with seam side down. Serve immediately with the peanut dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Clean the shrimp properly by deveining and removing the shells.
  • Marinate the shrimp in a flavorful sauce or seasoning mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use thin rice paper wrappers for the spring rolls. Soak them in warm water for a few seconds to soften them before using.
  • Fill the spring rolls with a variety of fresh vegetables, herbs, and cooked shrimp.
  • Fold the spring rolls tightly to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
  • Cook the spring rolls in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the shrimp spring rolls with a dipping sauce of your choice.
