Moroccan Shrimp Briwats Like Egg Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Cover the vermicelli with hot water and soak for about 15 minutes.
• Drain the noodles and then chop finely.
• Set aside.
• Heat the oil and add the onion and shrimp.
• Cook until the shrimp turns pink, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat, chop the shrimp and combine the shrimp/onion mixture with the herbs and spices.
• Put the mixtures in the wrapper and roll up like an eggroll.
• Or, if you prefer, fold the wrappers into triangle shapes.
• Brush the edges with some beaten egg yolk to seal.
• Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden.
• *Youcan freeze uncooked briwats until ready to use.
• Just be sure to let them thaw slightly to avoid splattering in the hot oil.
• Serve with a squeeze of lemon or harissa, if desired.
• This is a good"potluck" dish and is great for a quick and tasty lunch.

Steps:

• - Heat the olive oil in a very large frying pan* and drop the pork cubes into it. Add 2 tablespoons of Teriyaki sauce, a pinch or two of salt and cook until well browned.
• - Add the shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, onions, garlic and carrots. Stir thoroughly and then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of virgin olive oil over the top. Stir thoroughly again. Other cooks like to mix the meat with the raw veggies and let the final frying cook the vegetables. However, I like to cook them a little first to get rid of some of the moisture (especially in the cabbage and sprouts). I have found that, if I get rid of some of the moisture first, the veggies will not shrink as much inside the wrapper later during frying and gives me a much firmer roll without large, empty pockets of air.
• - Sprinkle the Kosher salt, ginger and black pepper over the top. Add the soy sauce and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
• - Stir the mixture well several times until the cabbage becomes somewhat soft.
• - When the mixture has reached the desired consistency, turn off the heat and add the shrimp. Stir well and allow mixture to rest for about 10 minutes.
• - Have a small bowl of water ready. Take an egg roll wrapper out of the package; lay it flat so that one of the corners is pointing at your belly. Dip your fingers into the bowl of water and run them along all four edges of the wrapper so that they are all nice and moist.
• - Place (approximately) 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of the wrapper so that it forms an elongated hill that comes to about 1 inch from the left and right sides. Fold the bottom corner (the one near your belly) over the mixture and press the corner lightly into the middle of the wrapper. Fold the left and right corners of the rolled wrapper so they end up pointing at each other on top of the folded wrapper. Using slight pressure from your fingers, "roll" the wrapped mixture towards the top until you end up with your roll. Keep it as tight as possible as you roll but not too much or you may break the wrapper and it will be a mess when you fry it. (Holy Mung Beans, Batman! I hope that makes sense!).
• - FOR FRYING: I use vegetable shortening or canola oil, whichever I have on hand at the time. I also use my deep fryer but, in a pinch, I have used a deep frying pan with enough frying oil in it to completely cover the egg rolls. I have also heard that peanut oil does a great job but I am a cheapskate and don't want to spend the extra bucks.
• - Fry on medium-high heat. I have found that anything lower makes the wrappers a little soft and chewy and I like mine nice and crispy.
• - Now, you will find that egg rolls can be temperamental and some will follow basic orders but some won't. As you fry a batch, you will find that some of your egg rolls have turned over by themselves and some have not. You will also find that some will stay in the position once you turn them but some will absolutely refuse to turn; it seems that no matter how many times you turn them, they will turn back leaving the whitish, uncooked belly exposed. For those rebels, you may need to turn them and hold them under the oil with your utensil until they stay turned.
• - Fry until golden brown and "bumpy". Place on top of a cookie sheet covered with a thick layer of paper towels and let them "drain" for 10 minutes or so. Serve and enjoy!
• *I use my big Paella pan (see picture) which requires three burners to use. Otherwise, you may need to cook the filling in a couple of batches if your frying pan is not big enough. At times, your frying pan may not appear to be big enough but, after the cabbage and bean sprouts cook for a few minutes, the mixture will shrink so you may be able to keep adding the fresh veggies slowly and cook it all in one batch.).
• HINT: When filling the egg rolls, I place my frying pan (or Paella pan) on a flat counter. Then, I place a piece of board about 1.5 inches thick under one side of the pan. This puts the pan on a slight angle which allows the juices and sauce to drain to the lower end. I then start using the filling from the higher side with a slotted spoon. This method allows me to use dryer filling without the sloppiness of wet cabbage.

Steps:

• If you don't already have crispy turkey skin or chicken skin, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place parchment sheet or a Silpat on a baking sheet, sprinkle skin with kosher salt and pepper, and cover skin with a second baking sheet so it doesn't curl up. Heat for 20 minutes, rotate the sheet, and cook for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven. When cool, dice skin and set aside.
• Stir-fry the ginger and garlic on medium heat in 1 tablespoon of oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add green onions, carrots, cabbage, and brussels sprouts and stir-fry for 5 more minutes.
• In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, Chinkiang vinegar, and sugar. Add mixture to the pan and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft. Add sesame oil, cool for at least 15 minutes, and strain.
• Fold in the minced shrimp, turkey, and crispy turkey skin.
• Fill and roll the eggroll wrappers, wetting the edges with water to help them wrapping stick. Apply water to any loose flaps in the eggroll to make them stick.
• In a skillet set over moderately high heat, heat the remaining oil and saute the egg rolls until golden brown on all sides, using tongs to turn them. Serve when cool enough to eat.
• Combine dipping sauce ingredients and serve.

Steps:

• Combine first 13 ingredients in a large bowl (through ground red pepper). Add shrimp; stir to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• While shrimp marinate, soak 6 (12-inch) wooden skewers in water 30 minutes before grilling. Thread 6-7 shrimp evenly onto each skewer.
• Preheat grill.
• Place skewers on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done.
• Alternate cooking method: Pan fry for 3 minutes on each side in a small amount of olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place wonton wrappers on a large baking sheet and brush both sides with lightly with oil.
• Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until crisp and lightly golden.
• Coat a non stick skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Add coleslaw mix, red pepper, scallions, and broth.
• Simmer, covered, for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, sugar, and ginger.
• Add shrimp and cook until just heated through, about one minute.
• Spoon a generous 1/4 cup of shrimp mixture on each wonton.
• Serve with brown rice and, if desired, duck sauce and additional soy sauce.
