Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hi Shawn, My Asian girlfriend at work makes me vegan spring rolls when we have a potluck. She adds bits of small diced seasoned boiled potatoes with the veggies and they come out delicious. Just a little food for thought. I find the different brands of kombu are pretty much the same flavor but some have a thicker texture and others are more white in color on the outsude. Now the next thing is epazote. Hope you get a change to try that one in your beans. Have a nice start of the new week..........................Donna matrixenos <matrixenos wrote: Hi Donna! Yes great stuff indeed. Next week (since it's getting a bit hot) I'm going to head to the Asian market again to get some ingredients to make cold spring rolls. I think I'm going to pick up a different brand of kombu to see if there is a difference in flavor for the fun of it (and this time make sure it is plenty white - lol). It was pretty cool trying something new and I can finally say I've tried this. The soup was really good and didn't last long - lol. It was a lovely Asian flavored healthy vegetable soup (only a little bit of oil at the beginning). I'd think you could add in some sesame oil for a twist. I think I'm going to make pintos again sometime this week. I'm going to add in a sheet or two of kombu - make it a Tex-Asian dish instead of Tex-Mex. You've mentioned that you'd done that before, correct? Can't wait! Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 My sister made me some and they were really good, now I make em' Mine are real simple. We use the bag of broccoli slaw. If this isn't available for you, all it is is shredded broccoli and carrot, about 3 parts broccoli to one part carrot I guess. In a pan add the broccoli slaw and some garlic, either fresh or powder, then sprinkle on a bit of vegan fish sauce and soy sauce. Oh yeah, you MUST fry this in sesame oil, no other oil is the same. A sprinkle of sugar or sweetener of choice is good too, not too much. Keep sprinkling sauces until you get the desired taste, then wrap em' up and fry in vegetable oil. You COULD bake for added health benefit but not me, I'll fry. ) Blessings, Chanda - GeminiDragon Monday, March 14, 2005 12:18 AM Re: Re: Kombu/Shroom Soup and spring rolls Hi Shawn Hi Shawn, My Asian girlfriend at work makes me vegan spring rolls when we have a potluck.
