Shiitake Mushroom and Egg Roll

By

Shiitake mushroom and egg roll is a yummy dish that you can prepare with your kids. You can ask them to do simple tasks such as beating the eggs or carefully rolling the egg rolls. Feel free to be creative when it comes to the filling. It is best to use a rectangular or square frying pan if it is available. Otherwise, a large round frying pan will do.

 

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks

2 eggs

4 garlic cloves, crushed

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

100g shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced

2 green shallots, ends trimmed and sliced thinly

2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce

 

Place the egg yolks, eggs and garlic in a medium sized bowl. Whisk well and transfer it to a large jug.

Next, heat the oil in a 24cm base non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Stir-fry the mushrooms for two to three minutes or until it becomes tender. Transfer it to a bowl and cover it to keep it warm.

After, put non-stick baking paper over a chopping board and then reheat the frying pan over medium flame. Pour in the beaten egg mixture and cook it for three to four minutes or until it is set. Carefully slide the omelet on the lined chopping board. Make sure that the egg’s cooked side is facing down.

Put the mushrooms on one edge of the omelet and sprinkle it with half of the shallots. Roll it tightly and enclose the filling. Leave the ends open. Slice the egg roll into half inch pieces. Place the shiitake mushroom and egg rolls in individual plates. Garnish them with the remaining shallots. Serve immediately with the sweet soy sauce.
