1 Rice Paper, for each spring roll
1/3 Cup Dry white wine, (optional) of grape juice
3 Cups Napa (Chinese) Cabbage freshly made
2-4 Shitake mushrooms, sliced thin
1 1/2 tsp. Black sesame seeds, pre-soaked
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
2-3 tsp. Nama Shoyu
1/2 Cup Sweet Onions, chopped,
1/4 T. Chinese 5 Spice
1 tsp. Garlic
1 Cup Bean Sprouts
1 tsp. Ginger, crushed
In a bowl, place the cabbage, bean sprouts and mushrooms. In a blender place the nama shoyu, chinese 5 spice, wine or grape juice, onions, garlic and ginger and mix. Drizzle in the oil a little at a time, and mix again. Pour half of this mixture over the vegetables and allow to marinate for 1-2 hours. Take one rice paper at a time and after draining the vegetables of any moisture, place them on the rice paper, and roll them really tight with the rice paper. Put on a platter. If raw rice paper is not available, roll in cabbage leaves or raw, nori sheets. Use the rest of the marinade as a dipping sauce and serve with hot (spicy) mustard.
