Here's what we've all been looking for: A holiday that lasts for two whole weeks CELEBRATE NEW YEAR FOOD
Celebrate the Chinese New Year Feb. 18 with delectable Salmon Filled Egg Rolls. Accompanied with stir-fried vegetables and fluffy steamed rice, this Chinese specialty is a fitting entree for this festive occasion. Cut into thirds, they are perfectly sized for party hors d'oeuvres. A tasty filling for the egg rolls combines delicious canned salmon with crunchy stir-fried cabbage, celery, green onions, bean sprouts, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. Two typical Chinese flavoring ingredients, soy sauce and sherry wine, are added to the salmon-vegetable mixture. For easy-to-make egg rolls, use ready-made wrappers which are available at specialty food stores. Otherwise, the wrappers may be prepared at home by a method similar to making crepes. After frying the rolls to a crisp golden brown, they may be kept warm in a slow oven until serving time. They also may be prepared ahead of time and frozen to reheat at a later date. Canned salmon is a convenient and versatile item that adapts to numerous flavor combinations. This tender and delicious canned fish makes an important contribution to good nutrition, providing substantial amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals. Salmon filled egg rolls 1 can (15-1/2 oz) or 2 cans (7-3/4 oz.) salmon 3 tablespoons oil 2 cups finely diced celery 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1/2 pound bean sprouts 3 cups finely shredded cabbage 1/4 cup finely chopped water chestnuts 1/4 cup finely chopped bamboo shoots 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons sherry wine 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 3 tablespoons water 16 egg-roll wrappers 1 egg, slightly beaten Drain and flake salmon. Heat oil in skillet or wok. Add celery and stir fry for two minutes. Add green onions, bean sprouts and cabbage. Stir fry one minute. Stir in water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and salmon. Add soy sauce, sherry wine, salt and sugar. Heat to boiling. Dissolve cornstarch in water. Add to skillet and cook, stirring, until thickened. Cool to room temperature. To fill egg rolls, place a portion of salmon mixture diagonally across center of egg-roll wrapper. Lift lower flap over filling, tucking point under. Bring side flaps up over filling and press points down firmly. Brush remaining exposed triangular portion with beaten egg. Roll up and seal firmly. Fry until golden brown and crisp, five to seven minutes, in deep fat heated to 375 degrees. Drain on paper towels. Makes 16 egg rolls. Egg-Roll wrappers 2 eggs 1 cup flour 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups water Beat eggs slightly. Add flour, cornstarch, salt and water. Blend until smooth. Heat buttered 7-inch skillet or crepe pan. Add about two tablespoons batter to cover bottom of pan. Brown lightly on bottom side only. Turn out on paper towels or stack with waxed paper between crepes. Place filling on uncooked side. Roll, seal and fry as directed for salmon-filled egg rolls. Makes 16 egg roll wrappers. Note: If egg rolls are not served right away, keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree oven. If desired, egg rolls may be cooled and frozen. To serve, defrost and heat for 10 to 12 minutes in 450 degree oven. Crisp egg rolls filled with a luscious mixture of canned salmon and vegetables are a delicious way to celebrate the Chinese New Year, 4675.
and . . . deck the halls with sesame
With Chinese New Year arriving, if you really want to go all out, think about decorating your home with boughs of sesame and pine. Also, according to Oriental lore, this is the big time for exchanging gifts. Fruit, foods and potted plants are appropriate gifts for friends. And buy new clothes for everyone! It's considered bad luck to wear old clothes on New Year's Day.
