Artemis Fowl and The Eternity Code; Vegetarian Spring Rolls

Appetizers· Artemis Fowl· Eoin Colfer· Side Dishes

15 May

Butler prepared them a meal. Nothing fancy. Vegetarian spring rolls, followed by mushroom risotto with creme caramel to finish. Mulch opted for a bucket of diced worms and beetles, sauteed in a rainwater and moss vinaigrette.

Artemis Fowl and The Eternity Code; Vegetarian Spring Rolls

Chả giò. Lumpia. Chungwon. Loempia. Vårrullar. Sajgonki. Rollito de primavera. Arrollado Primavera.

So many names for that perfect bite of deep fried goodness. The spring roll. Personally, I love mine vegetarian, and absolutely dosed in sweet chili sauce. Double dipping is compulsary. Heck, make that triple dipping.

And after making them fresh at home, your local chinese takeaway restaurant will seem piddly in comparision. Once you get into a rhythm of spooning, folding and rolling, it gets easier. I made more than needed, but popped them into the fridge. They loose their crispiness overnight, but those leftover spring rolls will look pretty enticing round lunch time.

Ingredients
  • a 100g packet of vermicelli noodles
  • 1 tbsp of peanut oil
  • 3 spring onions, sliced
  • 2 crushed garlic cloves
  • 1 large carrot or 3-4 baby carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1½ cups shredded Chinese cabbage (check out this picture if you aren't sure what you're looking for. I know I didn't!)
  • 1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • ¼ pepper
  • 20 spring roll wrappers, thawed (found in frozen section of grocery store)
  • frying oil (vegetable)
  • sweet chilli sauce for dipping sauce
Instructions
  1. Before cooking the noodles, break the 'roll' of noodles into four pieces, then cover with boiling water in a large bowl. Cover until soft, then drain.
  2. Next, in a wok (or a large frying pan), heat up the peanut oil until hot. Add in the spring onions, garlic, grated carrot and cabbage. Cook until soft. Toss in the noodles, water chestnuts, soy and pepper, stir until combined, then set aside to cool.
  3. Follow the instructions in the blog from Zaiqa.net on how to roll a spring roll correctly. Having images always helps!
  4. Have a small bowl of cold water next to your work space for wetting the edges, and cover the extra wrappers with a damp teatowel.
  5. Take one wrapper and turn it so a corner faces you. Take one tablespoon of the stir fried mixture and place it in a row horizontally close to the corner near you. Wet the edges of the wrapper, fold the corner closest to you up, fold the left and right corners inwards, then roll it together.
  6. Complete all the other wrappers, keeping them covered with a damp teatowel as well.
  7. When all the wrappers are filled and rolled, heat a wok a large saucepan with vegetable oil in, about one -third full. To test if oil is hot, take a tear of bread and drop it into the oil. It'll sizzle and bubble.
  8. Cook spring rolls a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes, until golden. Pull out and keep warm in an oven set on the lowest temperature or 'keep warm'. Once all are cooked, remove them and serve with the sweet chilli sauce.

    Spring role wrappers are not usually gluten free. If you look hard enough you can find a rice wrapper that is specifically for frying. Use those or make them from scratch.

      You can get them in the freezer section in my grocery store, but you’re right, the usual spring roll wrapper isn’t gluten free. 🙂

I love love love Dr Seuss' illustrations, so I use I love love love Dr Seuss' illustrations, so I used a How The Grinch Stole Christmas book to easily (and cheaply) decorate my kitchen wall this year. Baroque style photo frames made them that bit fancier!⁣

What a Halloween that was! 🎃 Incredibly gratef What a Halloween that was! 🎃
Incredibly grateful that we were able to celebrate, even though we did things a little differently. 
With a spider theme in mind, my parent's house was covered with a mixture of white weed mat and cheesecloth. The faux spiderweb material we only used on branches, since the darn stuff is sticky and a nightmare to remove! 🕷️🕸️
Kudos to mom who did the majority of the work, adding in faux dead leaves, branches and trees, turning springtime into one magical night of autumn. Dad was in charge of sound effects and lighting.
Typically we hide as characters or creatures in the garden which slows the kids as they come up to the door, giving them time to look around. They can never tell if something is going to move or not!
Being 2020 though, the 'tension' of coming up to the house was broken because the witches were outside. We placed ourselves at a table with an entrance and exit pathway, reminding them to "stay one broomstick apart"! Let's hope next Halloween we're back to 'normal'. We'll have to make up with some extra scares! 🎃  📸 Photos by our Halloween photographer, dad 😉

'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration 'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration for our yard haunt back in 2016. Of course, we had to have him in a field of cornstalks... a tricky task when you live in Australia and it's actually coming into springtime!  Dried banana leaves, with its leaves shredded, were tied to old stick fencing. Lit from below, you would've believed the headless horseman was somewhere nearby. 🎃  #halloweenyardhaunt #Halloween

Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- a small action that makes an ordinary moment meaningful. It's our way of acknowledging, enjoying, being excited, even grateful, for 'right now'. In years like this one, where we can find ourselves wishing for 2020 to be over, it can be even more important for  these moments. ⁣
So instead of focusing on how I found myself time-warped from early September to the end of October, I'm going to simply celebrate the best week of October.⁣
⁣
200 years ago, Washington Irving published his short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Some homemade decorations like a Sleepy Hollow sign, faux 'cornstalks' mixed with some storebought decorations have my house filled with October vibes to celebrate the bicentennial. 🎃⁣

[BILBO BAGGINS’ BUTTERED SCONES] It’s been qu [BILBO BAGGINS’ BUTTERED SCONES]  It’s been quite a year… but I couldn’t miss celebrating Hobbit Day!  Mixing up a batch of Bilbo’s buttered scones is an easy way to start the morning off right (and doable before work).  I’ve also jumped back onto Youtube to make these alongside you, but- and I guess this reflects the year- I’m changing up my approach to videos. I’ve relaxed my style, and slowed my pace to capture the comfort of baking and cooking that I love so much.  #lotr #lordoftherings #thehobbit #thelordoftherings #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth #hobbitday #bookworm #hobbitweek #foodinliterature #bilbobaggins
In the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shad In the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even darkness must pass.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A new day will come.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those were the stories that stayed with you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That meant something.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if you were too small to understand why.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because they were holding on to something.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
