Pan-fried crab & vegetable rice paper rolls


We made this a second time (the following week to use up remainder of the ingredients) - Very tasty!

Serves 2.
Crispy and golden pan-fried rice paper rolls filled with crab, cabbage, carrot and scallion, and served with soy-hoisin dipping sauce.



Ingredients:
1 carrot—grated
1½ cups finely shredded cabbage
1 scallion (spring onion)—thinly sliced
1 clove garlic—minced (crushed)
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
6 rice paper sheets (we used won ton sheets)
6 crab sticks
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil



Method:
MIX together the carrot, cabbage, scallion, garlic and ginger in a bowl until thoroughly combined.



SOAK a sheet of rice paper in a large shallow dish of hot water for about 15 seconds, then drain well.



PLACE the sheet of rice paper delicately out on top of a clean dry dish cloth.



PLACE 2 heaped tablespoons of vegetable mixture towards the lower edge of the rice paper sheet.



PLACE a crab stick on top of the mixture. FOLD and wrap to form a neatly packed cylinder.



REPEAT the process until you have made 6 rolls.



HEAT 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-low heat for 5 minutes.



PLACE the rolls delicately in the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then turn the rolls slightly and cook 2 minutes, then repeat this process until all 4 sides of the rolls are crispy and golden.



WHILE cooking, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl.



ARRANGE 3 rice paper rolls on each plate with the dipping sauce to serve.
Tip: Be careful when filling and handling the rice paper— it's very delicate and tears easily.
