Fried vegetable dumplings

1.In a large frying pan, heat oil on medium. Saute mushrooms, carrot, onion, garlic, ginger and chilli 3-5 minutes, until mushrooms soften. Season to taste. Cool.

2.Cut each spring roll wrapper into 4 equal squares. Place heaped teaspoon of mixture in the centre. Brush edges with egg. Gather comers, pinching together to make a moneybag shape.

3.In a large deep frying pan or wok, heat oil until a little pastry sizzles as soon as it is added (170°C). Deep-fry dumplings in 3 batches, 2-3 minutes each, until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel.

4.Make Dipping Sauce as per method below. Serve dumplings with dipping sauce.

5.In a small bowl, combine sweet chilli and lime juice.

Look for mixed punnets of suitable mushrooms – such as shiitake, enoki and shimeji. If your local grocer doesn’t sell them, use just one variety or replace with chopped mushrooms of choice.
