FOOD: CARO: Fried Spring Rolls

Ingredients:

10 spring roll skins (soft rice paper wraps)

½ onion, finely chopped

½ carrot, finely grated

¼ turnip, finely grated

100g cooked peas, mashed

100g pork, finely chopped

1 teaspoon vegetable stock powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

500ml vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Method:

In a clean cloth, combine the grated carrot, turnip, and mashed peas.

Squeeze the mixture over a bowl to extract any excess liquid. (The liquid can be saved and used for soups if desired.)

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable stock powder, chopped onion, black pepper, and finely chopped pork. Add the squeezed vegetable mixture and mix thoroughly to combine.

To assemble the spring rolls, place approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling near the edge of each rice paper sheet. Fold in both sides of the rice paper and then roll tightly to enclose the filling.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok to medium-high heat. Carefully place the spring rolls in the hot oil, ensuring the open side is facing down.

Fry for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

Remove the spring rolls from the cil and drain by standing them upright in a sieve (avoid using paper towels, as they may become soggy).

Serve the spring rolls hot, accompanied by sweet chili sauce for dipping.

FOOD: Caro: Vietnamese Fish In Banana Leaf

Ingredients:

200g fish (whole fillet or steak)

4 banana leaves (or cabbage leaves as a substitute)

2 stems lemongrass, finely sliced

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tablespoon grated fresh turmeric (or 1 teaspoon turmeric powder)

I tablespoon oyster sauce

I teaspoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon chili paste

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon fried onion flakes

50g spring onion, finely chopped

Method:

Prepare the Marinated Paste: In a blender, combine the sliced lemongrass and crushed garlic. Blend until finely minced, then transfer to a bowl. Add the grated turmeric (or turmeric powder), spring onions, oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, chili paste, and vegetable oil. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

Marinate the Fish: Place the fish into the marinade and coat it thoroughly.

Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Prepare the Banana Leaves: To soften the banana leaves, gently heat them over an open flame until pliable, or alternatively, blanch the cabbage leaves by boiling them in water for 1 minute.

Wrap the Fish: Lay the banana leaves flat on a surface. Place the marinated fish in the center of each leaf. Sprinkle the fried onion flakes on top.

Carefully fold the sides of the leaves over the fish to enclose it like a parcel.
