Receta SHIITAKE & ENOKI ASIAN MUSHROOMS SPRING ROLLS
A vegan favorite at the dim sum table. When you bite into the spring roll, you will feel several layers of textures - texture being an important element of Chinese foods. First you have the crisp from the deep fried spring roll skin, followed by the velvety shiitake inter-mingled with the stringy mung bean thread and the silky enoki. Finally, you will experience the crunchy cloud ears fungus. The aromatic ginger and garlic complement the woody, robust shiitake. The dipping sauce is a common Cantonese dipping sauce made from Lea & Perrins!
An important cooking tip is to make sure you keep the temperature of the hot oil at a constant high of 360F to ensure your spring rolls come up crisp and dry, and not soaked in oil, or burned. Always use a fry thermometer, and not fry too many pieces at a time to ensure optimal heat control.
