CRAB ASPARAGUS EGG ROLLS WITH THREE DIPPING SAUCES



Crab Asparagus Egg Rolls with Three Dipping Sauces image

If your a fan of egg rolls like I am, give these a try. The asparaus gives them a nice crunch, and the crab meat mixed with the garlic and ginger gives the filling something extra special. The dipping sauces are fun. Beware of the peanut sauce, it's really HOT.

10 -12 asparagus spears, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
3 -4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 lb lump crabmeat
2 inches ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
2 -4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
freshly ground white pepper
20 -25 egg roll wraps
canola oil, for frying
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
3/4 cup shrimp stock or 3/4 cup vegetable stock (your choice)
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons lemons, zest of
2 teaspoons brown sugar, to taste
1 cup apricot preserves
3 -4 tablespoons yellow mustard (can add ½ yellow and ½ Dijon or spicy honey mustard your choice)
1 cup unsalted peanuts
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons red chili paste (I like sambal)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup hot water
chopped peanuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • For egg rolls: Heat 1 tbsp canola oil in wok or sauté pan over medium high heat.
  • Add ginger and garlic, toss in oil.
  • Sauté cabbage, carrots and asparagus for 1-2 minutes, to heat through.
  • Add soy sauce, sesame oil and sauté for one minute more.
  • Lower heat to medium and fold in crab meat and scallions.
  • Add white pepper to taste.
  • Keep over heat to warm through.
  • Remove from heat, and let filling cool.
  • Place egg roll wrapper in front of you, point down.
  • Place about 3 tbsp of filling towards the lower half.
  • Roll the bottom up, and the sides in, like an envelope.
  • Fold over and seal the end of the egg roll with a bit of water to keep closed.
  • Repeat until all egg roll wrappers are filled.
  • Heat canola oil in wok or deep frying pan.
  • I fry four egg rolls at a time and use just enough oil to cover the egg rolls about ½ to ¾ of the way over.
  • Heat oil over medium high heat, to about 350 degrees, and fry egg rolls until golden brown on each side.
  • Remove from oil and place on metal wrack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  • Serve with your choice of dipping sauces.
  • For sweet soy dipping sauce: Combine all ingredients and stir to dissolve sugar.
  • Allow to sit for at least one hour.
  • Can be stored covered in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • For duck sauce: Combine mustard and apricot preserves.
  • Ready to serve.
  • For peanut sauce: Blend peanuts, soy sauce, chili paste, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and lime juice until mixed thoroughly, into a paste.
  • Add as much as hot water is needed until sauce is at desired consistency, thinner or thick, depending on taste.
  • Garnish with peanuts.

COLOSSAL CRAB ASPARAGUS BISQUE

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 quarts chicken stock
2 bay leaves
3 pounds asparagus, cut into 1-inch lengths (tough ends removed and discarded)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
4 white onions, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (approximately, or as needed to create roux)
1 pint heavy cream
1 pound colossal crabmeat
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons freshly chopped thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced plus 1 or 2 lemons cut in wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring stock and bay leaves to a boil in a large pot. Cook asparagus until tender and add to stock pot. Melt butter in a separate saucepan and gently saute onions, celery, and carrots (mirepoix) until tender, then gradually add flour (with a non-reactive utensil such as a wooden spoon), and cook until similar to a roux. Transfer to the pot of stock to thicken soup. Let simmer for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves from soup. *Blend to a puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender or food processor. Add cream to the soup, and keep warm over low heat.
  • For the crab "souffle," mix crab, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and pepper, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a scoop of the crabmeat in the center of soup bowl and ladle the asparagus soup around. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

1 tablespoon sambal oelek or other hot chili sauce

Bring water to a boil in a 10-inch saute pan and remove from the heat. Submerge each spring roll wrapper, 1 at a time, in the hot water, moving it around in the water until soft and pliable, 10 to 15 seconds. Remove and lay on the parchment paper.
  • In another small mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, and chili paste. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture over the wrapper and top with 1 tablespoon of the noodle mixture. On top of the noodles, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sprouts. Top the sprouts with the 1 tablespoon of the papaya, 1 tablespoon of the carrots, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of the mint. Fold 2 sides of the wrapper toward the center about 1/4-inch, then roll like a jelly roll, pressing the edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Fry half of the spring rolls until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Slice each roll in half diagonally. Serve the rolls on a large platter with the Spicy Peanut Sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
  • In a food processor, combine all ingredients together. Process until smooth, then transfer to small bowls for dipping.

Yield makes 8 servings

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups whole milk
1 ounce Cheddar cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
1 ounce Swiss cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
24 fresh asparagus spears
1 pound lump crab meat
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (4 ounces)

  • Hold an asparagus spear with both hands, about 2 inches from the ends. Gently bend the asparagus until it snaps.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic chili paste, such as sriracha
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cups cooked rice sticks/noodles (about 2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
6 sheets rice paper wrappers

1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into thin strips

  • For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, tamari, chili paste, ginger and 1 tablespoon water. Set aside to let the flavors marry for about 10 minutes.
  • For the rolls: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the rice noodles with the sesame oil.
  • Fill a pie pan with warm tap water. Working with one wrapper at a time, soak the rice paper in the warm water for about 30 seconds or until pliable. Lay a few pieces of cilantro and basil across the center of the wrapper. Top the herbs with some crab, followed by some of the red pepper and cucumber. Top with approximately 1/3 cup of the dressed rice noodles. Roll the edge closest to you over the filling, pulling tightly. Fold in the ends and continue to roll to seal. Store on a tray with a damp paper towel. Continue with the remaining wrappers and filling. Serve with the dipping sauce.
