Ingredients
- 6 pieces dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1 pound (about 5 to 6 large pieces) galunggong, cleaned, gutted, and heads removed
- ½ cup soy sauce
- water
- canola oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 cup water chestnuts, chopped
- 2 cups Chinese celery, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package (24 pieces) springroll wrappers
Instructions
- In a bowl, soak shiitake mushrooms in warm water for about 30 minutes or until softened. Remove from water and squeeze excess liquid. Finely chop and set aside.
- In a pot over medium heat, combine fish, soy sauce, and enough water to cover fish. Bring to a boil, removing any scum that floats on top. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or just until fish can be easily flaked from the bones.
- Remove fish, discarding liquid. Let cool to touch and flake flesh, discarding bones.
- In a wide skillet over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onions and garlic and cook softened.
- Add water chestnuts and shiitake mushrooms. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until heated.
- Add flaked fish and cook until just heated through.
- Add Chinese celery and continue to cook until celery is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan and drain excess liquid, if any.
- Separate spring roll wrappers into individual sheets. On a flat working surface, lay wrapper like a diamond.
- Spoon about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of fish mixture on the middle of the wrapper. Fold the bottom pointed end of wrapper over filling. Fold side ends of the sheet inward and roll into a log. Wet the pointed edge of the wrapper with water to completely seal. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 1 inch deep of oil. Add spring rolls in a single layer and deep fry, turning once or twice, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Drain on a wire rack. Serve immediately with spiced vinegar.

Notes
- To keep the filling moist, do not overcook the fish. Poach in soy sauce just long enough to be able to easily flake the flesh off the bones.
- Drain the filling mixture well and completely cool before wrapping to keep the excess liquid or steam from tearing the spring roll wrappers.
- To prevent the wrappers from drying out while wrapping, cover with a damp cloth.
