ASPARAGUS PARCELS

Preparation Method :

• Place the asparagus, (bell) pepper and bean sprouts in a large mixing bowl.
• Add the plum sauce to the vegetables and mix until well-combined.
• Beat the egg yolk and set aside until required.
• Lay the sheets of filo pastry out on to a clean work surface (counter).
• Place a little of the asparagus and red (bell) pepper filling at the top end of each filo pastry sheet.
• Brush the edges of the filo pastry with a little of the beaten egg yolk.
• Roll up the filo pastry, tucking in the ends and enclosing the filling like a spring roll. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets.
• Heat the oil for deep-frying in a large preheated wok. Carefully cook the parcels, 2 at a time, in the hot oil for 4 - 5 minutes or until crispy.
• Remove the parcels with a slotted spoon and leave to drain on absorbent kitchen paper (paper towels).
• Transfer the parcels to warm serving plates and serve immediately.
