Stuffed Steamed Rice Wrapper Rolls (Vietnamese) image

A classic street food. This is Sunday breakfast treat in my house. Of course, my mom has never made them. Her philosophy: why bother trying when somebody at the corner can do it so much faster, and so much better? :=D Wood ear mushrooms and fried shallots can be purchased at Asian grocery stores. You can also make your own fried shallots: slice shallots very thin. Heat vegetable oil to medium/medium high, throw in the shallots and take them out right away with the net spoon. Leave on paper towel to drain off excess oil.

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup dried wood ear mushrooms
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 shallots, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
10 ounces ground pork or 10 ounces ground chicken
1 cup rice flour
3 cups water
salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 red chili pepper, shredded
1/4 cup cilantro leaf
1/2 cup fried shallots

Steps:

  • Stuffing:
  • Soak wood ear mushroom in hot water for 10-15 minutes, drain and chopped.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large pan, saute shallots, garlic, pork and mushroom until meat is cooked through. Set aside.
  • Wrappers:.
  • Mix flour, water, salt to form a batter.
  • Fill steamer 2/3 full of water, double and stretch a piece of cheesecloth tightly over the top, secure with string.
  • When water begins to boil, brush the surface with some oil to prevent sticking, then pour on a small ladle of batter and spread it around in circular motion.
  • Cover with lid or inverted bowl/plate, let it steam for 10 seconds. Remove the wrapper with spatula, carefully lifting from the corner.
  • Sauce:
  • Dissolve sugar in water, add the rest of ingredients.
  • Assembly: spoon 1 tbsp of filling on wrapper and roll up gently like you would roll spring rolls. Garnish and serve either warm or room temperature.
  • This serves 6-8 as appetizer, or 4 as breakfast.
