        Lobster Spring Rolls

      Delicious Hand Rolled Spring Rolls are sometimes difficult to find, much less to make them at home yourself. Please follow these simple step-by-step instructions and it will be easy for you to wrap them yourself. With the correct rice paper wraps, and by prepping the ingredients as we do, it will be simple to create flawless spring rolls at home. They will be the perfect appetizer for a Lobster Thai Fusion meal, or the right snack and conversation topic when hosting your next cocktail party! Our handmade Thai Spring Rolls have a unique new twist: 
Fresh Maine Lobster.

Ingredients and Preparation:
     1 pack of Rice Spring Roll Wrappers. (They are widely available in all large supermarket chains. You will likely have to look in the Asian food section, or Japanese section.) 1 head of Romaine Lettuce, 1-2 green peppers, fresh Basil leaves, 4-5 white mushrooms, 1 cucumber, 2 eggs, and of course 1 Lobster!

Make sure to slice the vegetables as we have done in the following photo. The pepper must be cut vertically, and sliced very thinly. The cucumber must be peeled, and then sliced into thin spears. Dice the mushrooms, so they are easy to spread and pour with your fingers.  Tear the Basil leaves gently.

Steam the Lobster for 10-12 minutes. You can hard boil the 2 eggs in the water you steam the Lobster in.

    






















     Tear the Lobster meat into small pieces with your fingers. Add it into a mixing bowl with the 2 eggs and mix vigorously with a fork.

Wrapping the Spring Rolls:
     Pour some water into a very large salad bowl. Open the Spring Roll Wrappers, and pull one out.

  

     Slowly and carefully, dunk the first wrapper into the water. Allow it to submerge for 1 minute.

     Only one Spring Roll can be made at a time. 

     On a full size dinner plate, carefully place the spring roll wrapper that you just soaked. Put one leaf of lettuce over half of the wrapper, as we have done in the following photo. Then lay a few slices of cucumber, and green pepper on top on the lettuce. With a spoon, spread some of the Lobster Egg mix on top of the vegetables.

    

     Slowly add some diced mushrooms over the Lobster Egg mix. Then add a little bit of Basil, thinly spread.

     

     Begin to wrap “The Wrap.” Slowly pick up the end of the wrap on the same side as the vegetable you placed upon it. Slowly begin to roll it over.

    

     With much care not to tear the wrap, continue to roll it, over the vegetables.

    

     Once the rice wrap has been rolled far enough over, (onto itself), pick up each of the loose ends gently, and begin to fold them inside, back onto the vegetables.

    

     Slowly turn the Spring Roll onto the unwrapped section, and tuck the loose ends inside, as you continue to roll. Try your best to roll it tightly, but care is needed not to break the rice wrapping paper. You will get good at this step with more practice.

     

     As you make the final roll, and are just about to finish the first wrap, it will look like this. Try to make it as tight as you can. The roll is gaining some strength as it is wrapped slowly. Notice how the end is tucked inside, to keep the Lobster from spilling out.

     

     Your Spring Roll is done! Take a look at the next photo as you prepare to pick it up.

Serving:

     Carefully place the spring roll onto a large dry serving platter. Continue to roll the rest of your Handmade Lobster Spring Rolls one at a time. They will be worth the wait!

     Have a great time enjoying your Spring Rolls. We hope you have learned something, and will now be able to make the best Lobster or vegetarian spring rolls possible in your own home.
