Suggestions:

Always use mushroom stalks unless otherwise stated.

Ingredients:

36 spring roll wrappers (12 x 12cm)

1/2 cup cooked rice vermicelli (50g)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

7 fresh mushrooms with stalks, finely chopped (50g)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/2 tsp 'Lite' or table salt

300 g lean minced veal

1/4 cup spring onions, finely chopped

1 cup cabbage, finely chopped

2 tsp plain flour

1/4 cup water (65ml)

1 Tbsp canola oil

Directions:

Have on hand fresh spring roll wrappers. Keep covered so they won't dry out.

Cook vermicelli by pouring boiling water over it and letting it stand for 5 minutes. Drain.

Combine vermicelli, onion, garlic, mushrooms, black pepper, salt, veal, spring onions and cabbage in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Mix flour and water together to make a smooth paste to use in sealing the rolls.

Place 1 good packed tablespoon of mixture on each wrapper. Moisten edges with flour and water mixture, fold in sides and roll and seal, turning the sealed edges to the underside.

Continue to prepare and place on baking sheets. Allow space between rolls. Brush with oil and bake in a moderate oven until brown and crisp; about 40 minutes.

Spring Rolls may be frozen and reheated in low oven for 20 minutes.

Microwave Directions:

These may be reheated in a microwave for 8 minutes on MEDIUM HIGH. They will not be as crisp.

Variations:

Substitute beef, chicken or pork for veal. Vegetables may also be varied. You will need to adjust nutritional values accordingly.
