Lobster Spring Rolls with Watermelon Sesame Sweet Sour Sauce

Spring Rolls

Ingredients

1/2 pound cooked lobster meat, cut into small pieces
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and chopped
1/3 cup Hoisin sauce (in the Asian foods section)
8 pieces egg roll wrappers
1/3 cup water for sealing spring rolls
1 cup toasted sesame seeds
1 piece oil for deep-frying

Instructions

Toss together the lobster meat, cabbage, scallions and Hoisin sauce. Divide into long mounds across the diagonal of the wrappers leaving enough space at each end of wrap to fold over the filling to enclose tightly when rolled up.

Wet the edges of the wrapper and fold the short ends over the filling. Roll the wrapper from the bottom to enclose the filling completely and tightly. The water will act like glue to seal the edges. Deep fry the Spring Rolls in 360-degree oil such as rice bran oil, peanut oil or canola oil. As you remove them from the oil, drain quickly on paper towel and then dust with the sesame seeds. Serve with Watermelon Sesame Sweet Sour Sauce below.
