How to make Money Bag Spring Rolls

  Prepare the ingredients

  Carrots, onions, scallions, and shallots are cleaned and chopped finely.

  Wood ear mushrooms are soaked in water until soft, stems are removed, drained, and chopped finely.

  Tips for properly soaking dried wood ear mushrooms:

  • Before soaking the wood ear mushrooms, you should rinse them in cold water to remove sand and dirt.
  • Soak the dried wood ear mushrooms for about 3 – 4 hours until they are soft, avoiding soaking too long or leaving them overnight, as this can produce harmful toxins in the mushrooms, which are bad for health.
  • Do not use hot water to soak the mushrooms to make them expand quickly. Although the mushrooms expand faster in cold water, the morpholine in the mushrooms does not have enough time to neutralize, which is not safe.

  Wrapping the spring rolls

  You place a piece of rice paper underneath, then add another 1/4 piece of rice paper on top as shown.

  Scoop a little filling into the middle, then you tightly gather the spring roll to prevent the filling from spilling out and use a green onion to tie it securely.

  Tip:

  • Make sure to put just the right amount of filling to make it easier to tie!
  • However, don’t put too little filling, as the spring rolls won’t be plump and will look less appealing.

  Frying the spring rolls

  Heat a pan or pot on the stove, add enough oil to submerge the spring rolls for even and delicious frying.

  When the oil is hot, dip the top part of the spring roll to make it evenly golden, then place the bottom part (with filling) that has been rolled into the oil and fry over medium-low heat until all sides are golden, then remove and let drain the oil.
