How many of you have a microwave at home? I use my microwave when I want to minimize cooking time and clean-ups. Today’s dish is spring rolls. I’m making the veggie and meat filling in a microwave, so that all you have to do is roll it up and then fry it. Sounds easy right?? I hope you enjoy it! Tag me on Instagram if you make it! Please subscribe to my Youtube channel for future recipes! ＜Yield> 3-4 servings 5 minutes 15 minutes 8 sheets spring roll wrapper 1 tablespoon all purpose flour 1 tablespoon water vegetable oil Veggie and meat filling 150g pork belly or pork shoulder 60g bamboo shoots or carrots 15cm leek Seasonings 50ml water 3 tablespoons rice wine 2 tablespoons Soy sauce 1½ tablespoons oyster sauce 2 tablespoons potato starch/ corn starch 1 teaspoon honey 1 teaspoon ginger, grated 1 teaspoon garlic, grated ½ teaspoon salt vinegar mustard 1. Shred the bamboo shoot into matchsticks. Slice the leek thinly. Chop the pork into small pieces. Mix all the seasonings listed above in a large microwave safe container. 2. In seasonings container add in the chopped pork, bamboo shoots and leeks. Loosely cover with plastic wrap. Microwave it for 4 minutes at 600w. Give it a good toss then return it back into the microwave, loosely covered, for another 5 minutes. There should be almost no liquid left. 3. Place an 1/8th of a portion of filling on your wrapper with the point facing up. See photos below. Fold the bottom edge towards the center the fold in the sides. Roll the bottom edge until you reach the end of the folded sides. Seal the wrap with flour glue (1 tbsp of flour + 1 tbsp of water). 4. Shallow fry them over medium-high heat for 2 minutes for both sides or until they become nice and golden brown on the outside. Drain the oil and transfer to your plate. ・You can use whatever vegetable you have on hand. For example, red peppers, carrots, broccoli, onions, mushrooms work well. Also you can swap the pork for beef or any ground meat. ・When you microwave the meat mixture, make sure to loosely cover with plastic wrap. if it’s too tight, there is a chance it might explode. ・Depending on which vegetables you use for the filling, the liquid content varies. Before you use the mixture in the wrap, there should be almost no liquid left. If it’s too watery, dissolve in ½ tbsp of potato starch and then microwave it for another 1-2 minutes. ・I like to eat mine with mustard and rice vinegar, but this is totally optional. ・These are a great option for your bento box. This was actually my favorite when I was in school. ・If you don't have a microwave, you can just stir fry everything in a pan! Stir fry the meat and vegetable first, then when it's half way cooked, drizzle on the seasonings, and cook away until there is no liquid remaining.

This one is sooooo simple to make!!!! I cooked this in my cooking class and the guests all fell in love with the taste and easy steps!! My dear guests and family approve this recipe! Please enjoy when you feel cold!! ＜Yield> 6 servings 5 minutes 1 hour 1500ml water 500g daikon radish 120g leek 30g ginger (approximately half of a ginger) 8 dried shiitake mushrooms 8 chicken drumsticks 100ml of rice wine 2 tablespoons salted rice malt 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil 1 tablespoon Soy sauce salt and pepper for adjusting the taste green onions black pepper 1. Soak the dried mushrooms in the water overnight. The next day, take each mushroom and squeeze out the liquid and remove the stem. 2. Separate the green parts and white parts of the leek. The green part will help to reduce the smell from the chicken. Slice the white parts at an angle. After scrubbing the ginger well, slice them into 1cm pieces with the skin on. The skin from the ginger will help to warm you up. 3. In a pressure cooker add the stock from the dried shiitake mushrooms, salted rice malt and the rice wine. The salted rice malt is mixture of salt and rice mold that has been fermented. You can use it as a salt but salted rice malt has a more mild and deeper flavor from the natural sweetness of the rice. It also helps to tenderize the chicken. Add in the chicken drumsticks, the green parts of the leek, whole shiitake mushrooms without their stems and ginger. Put the lid on, and wait for the pressure to build up. After the pressure has reached high, simmer it for 15 minutes on low heat. 4. Peel the daikon radish, then cut into cubes. The vegetable you put in your soup is really versatile, so be creative with the vegetables. Carrots or Chinese cabbage are my favorites. 5. By the time the pressure cooker has released the pressure naturally, it should be ready to open. Remove the leeks and ginger. Add in the cubed daikon radishes and the white parts of the leek. Simmer it for another 10 minutes until the daikon radishes are cooked. Splash in the soy sauce and then salt to taste. Now it's ready to serve! Drizzle some toasted sesame oil and black pepper when you eat it. Sprinkle with some green onions for presentation. ・If you don’t have a pressure cooker, just simmer it for more than 2 hours in a large pot. ・You always want to adjust the taste with salt and pepper. It may taste a little bland without them. ・If salted rice malt is not available, use half a teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of rice. The rice will thicken the sauce and bring up the flavor of the daikon radish. ・Enjoy pouring this soup over noodles or enjoy it with rice.
