INSTRUCTIONS
Finely chop the lemon grass, using just the fat tender ends of the
stalks. In a hot pan or wok, quickly fry the julienne in a little
sesame oil for about 30 seconds, stirring continuously. Add the lemon
grass and cook for a further 30 seconds, add the lemon juice and soy
sauce and stir in the coriander. Place in a bowl and allow to cool.
To make the sauce, place the sugar in a pan and cook until
caramelised to a nice golden brown colour. Slowly add the vinegar a
little at a time until all the sugar is dissolved. Add stem ginger
and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and liquidize. Pour into
a bowl and allow to stand for 20 minutes. A heavy white foamy crust
will form - remove this with a spoon to reveal a clear amber syrup.
Brush your spring roll wraps with egg wash, place some of the
vegetables in the centre and roll them, tucking the corners in, to
resemble spring rolls. Make three or four per person.
Deep fry in a hot fryer at 190C for 2-3 minutes until crispy golden
brown. Dry on kitchen paper and serve with the sauce.
