We hosted an Asian potluck on Friday for friends. This is how the table looked at the beginning--more arrived later.
I thought the bonsai centrepiece was particularly inspired.
soften in hot water for a couple of minutes, slice thinly
When I was a kid, we used to spend way too long making spring rolls. All the aunties, grandmother, grandaunties and cousins would be roped in to chop and slice. This recipe by Kyle's dad took (only) two hours. I wonder whether it only ever took that long in Malaysia, and that time seemed to stand still when forced inside, chopping a mountain of vegetables, or whether it really did take all day...
The whole process is described on my blog papayatreelimited.blogspot.com/2009/09/spring-rolls-yum.html, but here's the recipe...
You will need:
A packet of spring roll wrappers - either wheat, or rice paper wrappers
Filling:
all ingredients have to be sliced finely and long
chicken thighs - marinaded in a bit of garlic, soy, sesame oil, oyster sauce, pepper. pan fry until browned.
carrot
garlic shoots
spring onions
bamboo shoots
water chestnuts
fungus - wood ear
chinese dried mushrooms - soaked in hot water, sliced
snake beans
3 eggs - omelette - seasoned with a dash of soy, pepper, make a thin omelette and slice finely
beansprouts
Stir fry all the ingredients - and add sesame oil, oyster sauce, cornflour (and water), pepper, soy sauce.
Let the mixture cool.
Then roll into spring rolls.
deep fry until golden brown.
Dipping sauce:
thick soy sauce, soy, chopped garlic, oyster sauce - or any other dipping sauce you like.
Clear your schedule, eat and have a nap.

My co-worker, Carol, decided to buy me a little lunch today from a vegan restaurant by her house. Note the cup of peanut sauce to dip them in. Yes, mmm. Thank you, Carol!
Ad campaign for eating out! This is the sushi place in the building we live in. Plenty of Tyvek still covering it, but they have stayed open during the reno, Good sushi too -and things like spring rolls and gyoza to offset the fishy stuff.
4 Takoyaki and 2 Spring Rolls -Teriyaki Chicken Bento - Teppansan AUD10
---
The prices might be cheap and the staff cheerful, but I wouldn't say the food is good value. The food is not that bad, but it's not really good either.
AUD10 for a bento box of pork, chicken or fish, with miso soup, spring rolls, and a choice takoyaki or California rolls. Quite a bit of food!

They are pretty damn good.
I watched a video reminding me that nighttime shots look good when they're actually dark, so I wanted to try it out. And, you know, get some spring rolls.
This Thai place down the street from the house I grew up in, they have beta fish in little bowls, I feed them rice. I think there's some kind of relation between people like me and the reason they stopped putting fish on the tables. This specific fish, I named "King Henry VIII" Because he ate all his previous wives.
... freshly delivered care package from E during our dinner at BY. These were not the stereotypical versions purchased at a grocery store, but freshly made from a restaurant she had visited and asked if she could purchase for the gift.
Unlike the equally delicious pre-packaged commercial versions I've experienced that are filled with pork, chicken, etc floss, this one had distinct flavours of shrimp roe, and more briny essence. The crispy spring roll skin was also extremely flavourful (perhaps fried in lard? Yum!), with an almost umami aroma. The filling was less packed like the meat floss versions, and less sweet. It was more like an hors d'oeuvre vs chippy snack.
Different but still awesome.
Our trio ended the night snacking on this. :)

Today was another one of those long days. Nothing bad happened, really, which is always good. I started my day off at 1am waking up crying and yelling about someone dying. That happened again at 3, 4, and 5. So I didn't get much sleep. I was dreaming of being back in bed all day, so my mind was nowhere where it should have been, which was work. The Boy and I decided that tonight was a good night to order some chinese food and watch movies. So far we're on Shrek the Third and I've yet to fall asleep... I don't think I'll make it to Gone Baby Gone tho.
Lilian and David's Cumin-spiced Lamb Spring Rolls
Spiked with ground cumin (孜然or 阿拉伯茴香) giving a nice spicy kick to the lamb mince.
