Description

These Vegetarian Thai Spring Rolls are a vibrant and crunchy appetizer that captures the essence of Thai street food. The filling features firm tofu and rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, providing a satisfying meaty texture, while green beans, carrots, and celery add fresh crunch. Everything is tossed in a fragrant mixture of garlic, red curry paste, and soy sauce for a bold, spicy kick. Wrapped in delicate spring roll wrappers and deep-fried until golden brown, these rolls make a perfect party starter or light lunch.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water until soft, then drain, trim stems, and slice.
  2. Cut tofu, green beans, celery, and carrot into large julienne strips.
  3. Chop green onions and set aside.
  4. Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat.
  5. Stir-fry chopped garlic until fragrant and lightly browned.
  6. Add tofu, mushrooms, beans, celery, and carrots to the wok.
  7. Stir-fry vegetables for 10 minutes until tender-crisp.
  8. Add red curry paste, soy sauce, and pepper; toss to combine.
  9. Turn off heat and stir in chopped green onions.
  10. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface with the narrow side facing you.
  11. Place a scant 1/4 cup of filling about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom edge.
  12. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides.
  13. Roll tightly towards the top, sealing the edge with a little water.
  14. Place roll seam-side down on a baking sheet; repeat with remaining wrappers.
  15. Heat 3 cups of oil in a wok or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  16. Deep-fry rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
