Let’s get cooking ~ New Year Spring Rolls 🎍🐯

Happy New Year 2022! Let’s get cooking ~ New Year Spring Rolls 🎍🐯

(See below ⬇️ for the recipes in English 🇺🇸 y en Español 🇪🇸)

It’s not really an official New Year food but in Japan they say “New Spring” (新春） for the new year anyway….. So why not 😜?! In my 9 years in Sevilla, I haven’t even tried to do a full-blown “Osechi” – it’s just so hard to get all the ingredients, unlike in the US… So I just made these tasty Spring Rolls (春巻き）that I was craving. And since we are in Spain, I used the Iberian pork. It’s quite easy to make so I hope you enjoy!

🇺🇸 Cut veggies into small pieces

🇪🇸 Corta verduras finitas

🇺🇸 Sauté green onions and ginger with vegetable oil and sesame oil / Add meat

🇪🇸 Saltea cebolleta y jengibre en aceite de vegetal y aceite de sesamo / Añade la carne

✨ In Spain, you can go to your favorite butcher and choose a piece of meat and have it ground ✨

🇺🇸 Once the meat is cooked, add the rest of the veggies

🇪🇸 Después de que esta hecha la carne, añade el resto de la verduras

🇺🇸 Sauté well

🇪🇸 Saltea bien

🇺🇸 Add brown sugar, wine*, salt, soy sauce and the water used to hydrate shiitake mushrooms

*Normally we use Sake but we settle for wine (red or white… what’s left in the fridge or whatever you are drinking 😆)

🇪🇸 Añade azucar moreno, vino*, sal, salsa de soja y el caldo de shiitake mushrooms

*Normalmente usamos Sake pero nos comformamos con vino (cualquier vino, blanco o rojo….. lo que queda en el frigo o lo que estas bebiendo 😆)

🇺🇸 At the very end, mix the water and cornstarch or flour and added to the sautéed veggie & meat mix to thicken any liquid/sauce left. This also makes it easier to roll the ingredients.

🇪🇸 En fin, mezcla agua y harina fina de maíz o harina normal a la mezcla de verduras y carne para que haga el jugo muy espeso. Se hace fácil hacer rollos también.

🇺🇸 Any asian food store SHOULD have these pre-made shell. I bought a small sized shells for the first time and Ioved them! Make rolls using the mixture of water and cornstarch or flour to close the roll at the end.

🇪🇸 Cualquier tienda de alimentación asiática DEBERIA tener estos hojaldres. Compré los pequeños esta vez y me gustaron mucho. Haz rollos. Usamos agua con harina fina de maíz o harina normal para pegar el hojaldre al final.
