MAGIC SPRING ROLL RECIPES

Steps:

• Step One
• In a frying pan with a little canola oil, fry the onion & garlic just until it begins to sweat.
• Step Two
• Add in the ground beef. The beef, garlic & onion will cook & brown together. I also added some spices I had at home, just to give the meat some extra flavor.
• Step Three
• Once thoroughly cooked, move the beef to a bowl. To do this, be sure to use a slotted spoon to drain the fat from the beef. Add the mustard & optional pickles. I don’t like pickles, so I did without. Allow to cool completely.
• Step Four
• While the beef is cooling, prepare your “glue” to keep the rolls together. To do this, mix the flour & a little water until it becomes a glue like consistency.
• Step Five
• Once cooled, it’s time to assemble the spring rolls! Get a deep frying pan & fill it with oil. Optionally, you can use a deep fryer. Just remember to remove the basket, as the shell may stick on. Let the oil heat while you prep your rolls.
• FYI - My local store was out of spring roll sheets. I had to use won ton sheets, which were more difficult to work with because they’re so small, but they still did the trick!
• To assemble, place the shell in a diamond shape. You will be putting the filling right in the corner of this diamond. Place half a cheese slice (or a quarter, if working with won ton shells), on the shell. Then, begin scooping the beef onto the shell.
• Begin rolling the shell. When you meet the middle of the diamond, using your finger or a brush, put the “glue” on the exposed edges. You don’t need very much, just enough to make it stick.
• Fold in the sides to tuck in, and continue rolling. If you are using won ton shells, you will need to roll it in a second shell, because if not, the cheese slice will melt right through. To do this, take a new shell & cover it lightly in glue, and repeat the rolling process.
• Voila! You are ready to fry.
• Step Six
• Doing only a few at a time, dip your spring rolls in the hot oil, turning frequently. They only take a couple minutes on each side. Fry until golden brown.
• Step Seven
• Serve them on a paper towelled plate. For a final touch, it’s time to get your dipping sauces ready. I used ketchup & cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was not the same as the dessert party sauce, it was my own cheese sauce recipe. I decided to do this because the cheese slice melted out of some of mine & I wanted a cheesey kick! To make that, I just created a white rue sauce of equal parts flower, butter & milk. I then added plenty of cheese until it melted.
