“Chinese” Egg Rolls

The Texada market had a recall on all their spring roll wrappers, so I used eggroll wrappers from the GB store instead. The dough is thicker, and of course contains egg. Apparently, The texture will be bubbly when deep fried. The package only had 20 rappers in it, sadly. However, I realized the dough is pretty close to my egg noodle ravioli dough, so I can probably make the wrappers myself next batch! The filling contains bamboo shoots and bean sprouts, unlike my Thai spring rolls.

Mochi Test

This was my first time making Mochi.  The dough is incredibly sticky and rather difficult to work with.  You definitely need to warm them up a bit before eating, otherwise the dough doesn’t soften up.  I wasn’t very happy with these;  I also, didn’t use the proper Japanese Mochiko flour (I used Chinese glutenous rice flour instead).  So, hopefully these will turn out better after I acquire the proper flour to use.
