Recipe - Chicken and Plum Spring Rolls





These spring rolls are popular at every home party. They could not be easier and the ground chicken is well balanced with umeboshi (pickled apricot) paste and a minty shiso. It only needs to be seasoned with some salt so no messy soy sauce splattering over the table.

12 spring roll sheets
1 cup ground chicken
1/4 cup neriume (umeboshi paste)
12 shiso leaves

On one end of the spring roll layer a thin amount of neriume (umeboshi paste). Cut the shiso leaf in half along the stem and lay over the neriume. Top this with a small amount of the ground chicken and roll shut. I do not close it with any flour and water paste. Instead, when I put it in the pan with oil I put the unclosed end down in the oil. It will sear shut in the oil.

Cook over medium high heat in a fry pan with a shallow amount of oil. Cook until golden brown and the meat is cooked through.

Season with salt and serve hot.
