[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3298012, member: 27673"] Happy Thanksgiving everyone ! Except for the years that I was dragging my bride of 43+ years around overseas this will be the first year that we will not be fixing a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.......turkey, dressing, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, hot rolls etc. etc. This year we decided that we both want made from scratch fried Vietnamese spring rolls (Cha Gio)......which are not to be confused with egg rolls that most Chinese restaurants serve or that a person can purchase frozen and nuke at home were the wrapper is made of flour, the wrapper for Cha Gio is rice paper that after frying is crispy and flaky. Discounting actual frying time they are pretty time consuming and labor intensive to make.....chopped crab and shrimp are mixed with seasoned ground pork, then you have to dampen the brittle rice paper sheets so that it becomes pliable enough to roll without breaking and the ones she rolls are considerably bigger around than the ones pictured. One of my favorite Vietnamese foods and I'm really looking forward to lunch. :) [ATTACH=full]147730[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
