  12      ounces        tofu
   5                    dried shiitake mushrooms -- soaked and trimmed
     1/4  pound         green beans
   1                    celery stalk
     1/2  medium        carrot
   2                    green onions
   3      tablespoons   vegetable oil
   1      tablespoon    garlic -- chopped
     1/2  teaspoon      pepper
   2      tablespoons   red curry paste
   2      tablespoons   soy sauce
  30                    spring roll wrappers
   3      cups          vegetable oil -- for deep frying
 

Preparation:

Cut the tofu, mushrooms, beans, celery and carrot into large julienne slices. Chop the green onions. Set aside. Put the 3 tbsp. vegetable oil into a wok over medium heat. When the oil is hot, stir-fry the garlic until it begins to brown. Add the soy sauce, tofu and all the vegetables except the green onions. Stir-fry for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and add the green onions. Separate the roll wrappers. Place the wrapper with the narrow side facing you. Place a scant 1/4 c filling about 1/3 of the way over from the closest edge. Fold the closest edge to you over the filling, fold over the left and right edges and then roll. Seal the end using just a touch of water. Place the finished roll seam side down on a baking sheet until all the rolls have been filled in this way. Heat the oil for deep frying in a wok until hot. Deep-fry the rolls on each side until golden. Drain and serve hot with cucumber pickle. Puangkram C. Schmitz and Michael J. Worman, "Practical Thai Cooking"
