How to prepare Vegetarian Rice Rolls using a pan

• 1

  Mix the dough

  Add all the tapioca starch and rice flour along with 1 tablespoon of salt into 800ml of water, then stir well until everything is dissolved.

  Then add 100ml of boiling water and 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the mixture and stir well again.

  Prepare other ingredients

  Peel the cassava, onion, and carrot, and chop them finely; the smaller the better, but don’t mince them too much as it will make the vegetables lose their moisture.

  Similarly, take 1/2 of a vegetarian sausage and cut it into small dice.

  Fried tofu should be cut into long, thin strips.

  Soak the black mushrooms in boiling water for about 3 minutes, then rinse and chop them finely.

  Wash the bean sprouts thoroughly and blanch them in hot water.

  Tip:

  • All the ingredients for the filling, such as onion, carrot, cassava, black mushrooms, tofu, and vegetarian sausage, should be cut as small as possible.
  • The trick to keeping the bean sprouts crispy after blanching is to dip them in boiling water for 2 – 3 seconds and then immediately dip them in cold water.

  Sautéing shallots and frying the sausage

  Slice the shallots thinly and sauté until golden, then remove them to drain the oil.

  With the remaining 1/2 piece of vegetarian sausage, roll it in the pan until golden all around.

  After frying, cut the sausage into small, easy-to-eat pieces.

  Stir-frying the filling

  Place a pan with oil on the stove, using only 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil, spread it evenly in the pan, then add vegetarian sausage and tofu to stir-fry with 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce until the mixture is dry.

  Continue to stir-fry another part of the filling, adding 2 – 3 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan over medium heat, then add the carrot and stir-fry for 2 minutes to make the filling more colorful.

  After 2 minutes, add the cassava, onion, and wood ear mushrooms, and stir well for 5 minutes.

  Next, add 1/4 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, half a teaspoon of vegetarian seasoning, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, then mix well. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste.

  Once the mixture is cooked and dry, turn off the heat and add green onions and coriander.

  Along with that, add the previously stir-fried tofu and vegetarian sausage, then continue to stir well, and we have finished the filling.

  Note to stir-fry to avoid the filling being wet:

  • When stir-frying the filling, do not add too much cooking oil, as too much oil will make the filling wet.
  • Do not cover the pan while stir-frying, as this traps moisture that drips back into the filling and makes it wet.

  Pouring the pancakes

  First, heat the pan and then spread a thin layer of cooking oil on the surface of the pan.

  Reduce the heat, then pour a very thin layer of batter and spread it evenly across the surface of the pan, then cover it.

  After covering for 15 seconds, the pancake will be cooked, at which point you can flip it onto a clean plate (that has been oiled) to take the pancake out and continue pouring batter into the pan for the next batch.

  Note: After pouring the batter out, you must cover the pan immediately; otherwise, the surface of the pancake will dry out.

  Rolling the cake

  After pouring the cake and taking it out onto the plate, you spread the cake evenly on the plate.

  You scoop 1 – 3 tablespoons of filling and spread it horizontally on 1/4 of the cake. Then gently roll the cake up.

  Continue to perform steps 3 and 4 simultaneously until all the ingredients are used up.

  Note:

  • You should roll gently and slowly, don’t rush or be hasty, otherwise, the cake will puff up or easily tear, making it less visually appealing.
  • Throughout the cake-making process, you should recycle the fried onion oil to make the cake more fragrant.
  • After rolling the cake, brush a thin layer of oil on the surface for a more fragrant and shiny appearance.

  Final product

  After completing the batches of cakes, you arrange them on a plate, sprinkle some fried onions on top, and eat them with bean sprouts, sliced sausage, some herbs, and dip in sweet and sour fish sauce. The finished cake will have a chewy softness of the outer layer, the filling is seasoned just right, and when eaten with bean sprouts and herbs, dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce, the richness of the filling is balanced out, making it very delicious.
