So, I helped my mama cook this past weekend.
Caveat: This consisted of me rolling shrimp rolls poorly (harder than it looks folks), eating those rolls (as a favour of course) & snapping pics on iPhone (while desperately wanting the G11).
After a while, she gave up. Just shook her head, and let me be.
Content, eating poorly-rolled rolls.
Nothing but the freshest ingredients. Vermicelli noodles, shrimp, pork shoulder, cucumber, egg, cilantro, asian herb (purposely vague until someone enlightens) etc.
Look! It was V-day. I had to.
How delicious do these look?! Well, I would know. Ate 3 while “helping”.
Assemble a little bit of this, and a little bit of that.
Tuck the sides & roll. Nice & snug.
The first will look deliciously fat & sloppy. Eat that one. Then, try again.
Ha ha ha, loved the last line of this, it’s soooo true, the first one for me is almost always like a big burrito, then they get progressively better :-) somehow my daughter is able to roll them perfectly each time … gggrrrrumble!
Those look sooo good! I made spring rolls once last year and then couldn’t stop making them for a few weeks straight. I need to bring that hobby back.
D – almost always? I’d say 99.8% of the time :) A good excuse to eat a few while ‘practicing’ though!
M – wish you could make a huge batch & save them…but it doesn’t work that way. Guess why they’re called ‘fresh’ shrimp rolls ;)
