Spring rolls with sautéed vegetables

Spring rolls with sautéed vegetables are rice-paper parcels filled with sautéed vegetables and noodles; the wrappers stay soft, and the filling comes together in a warm roll. I served them plain at Easter; at our place, the version with raw vegetables is the favorite, but these are spring rolls with sautéed vegetables. With the rice-paper wrappers, I aim to soften them just enough to fold without tearing. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 38 minutes. Resting: 16 minutes. Total time: 74 minutes. Servings: 4.

Ingredients
- 100 g spring onions
- 1 medium red bell pepper (150 g)
- 2 medium carrots (140 g)
- 2 parsnips (300 g)
- 1 parsley root (100 g)
- 30 ml cold-pressed sunflower oil or sesame oil
- 300 g button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 120 g Pad Thai rice noodles
- 1500 ml water
- 16 rice-paper wrappers
- 1000 ml water
Preparation
1. Peel the carrots, parsnips and parsley root, then cut them into julienne strips. Cut the spring onions into 1 cm pieces and the pepper into strips. 2. Heat 15 ml oil in a pan and sauté the spring onions, pepper and root vegetables for 12 minutes, stirring; the strips should soften and take on a little color. 3. Clean and slice the mushrooms. In a separate pan, heat 15 ml oil and cook them for 8 minutes, until the liquid they release evaporates. 4. Add the mushrooms to the vegetables. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the ginger grated on a glass grater, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook the mixture for another 3 minutes. 5. Put 1500 ml water and 1 teaspoon salt in a pot and bring to a boil, about 8 minutes. Add the noodles and stir so they don't stick, then, when the water starts boiling again, turn the heat down low and cook them for 2 minutes, until softened. Drain them right away and mix them with the vegetables. 6. Heat 1000 ml water in a kettle for 5 minutes, until it boils. Dip one rice-paper wrapper at a time in the hot water for a few seconds, then leave it on a chopping board for 1 minute, until pliable. Put a spoonful of filling in the center, fold one side over it, roll towards the opposite side and fold the edges in. Arrange the rolls with space between them.
Notes
A small bowl of soy sauce can be served alongside, although I served them plain too. Root vegetables cut too thick stay firm while sautéing; make thin strips of similar thickness. Thin rice-paper wrappers soften faster than thick ones, so take them out as soon as they fold. I only make a larger batch if I have a platter wide enough to keep the rolls apart. They keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, but the wrappers get stickier once chilled. For a gluten-free version, replace the soy sauce with 2 tablespoons tamari labeled gluten-free; regular soy sauce may contain wheat.
Frequently asked questions
Why do the wrappers tear when I roll them?
Wrappers that are too soft tear easily. Try keeping them in the water for about 3 seconds and leave them on the chopping board for 1 minute.
Can I use oyster mushrooms?
Yes, use 300 g as well and cut the caps into strips about 5 mm wide.
How do I stop the filling from coming out at the sides?
Leave about 2 cm clear at the edges before folding the wrapper over the filling.
