NOTES : “Here’s a tasty take-off on German potato salad. It’s flavored like
the traditional side dish but uses noodles in place of potatoes. I always
loved my mother’s German potato salad, but once she served this noodle salad
instead, I was hooked.” Submitted by Gordon Kremer, Sacramento, California.

Banana Cinnamon Doughnuts

Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill
Serving Size : 30 Preparation Time :0:30
Categories : Doughnuts

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
– ——– ———— ——————————–
3 cups peanut oil — for frying
4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup margarine
1 cup bananas — mashed
2 large eggs — beaten
—- Topping: —–
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer or deep heavy skillet.
Time heating so it will be ready when you are prepared to
begin frying doughnuts. Use Canola oil if you prefer, but
peanut oil has a higher smoking point and is a good choice
for frying.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking
powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in margarine using a
pastry blender or two knives.
3. Make a well in center of mix and add mashed bananas
and eggs. Mix well. You can do this with a wooden spoon, or
since dough will be very stiff you may want to use your
hands to mix it well.
4. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and roll to
1/2-inch thick. Cut with a 2-1/2 inch doughnut cutter that
you dip in flour as needed.
5. Deep-fry, a few at a time, until golden brown. Drain
on brown paper bags. Fry the doughnut “holes” also.
6. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a paper bag or place
on a shallow plate. Coat warm doughnuts with this mixture.

Yield: about 22 doughnuts and 22 centers.

Title: IMPERIAL ROLLS
Categories: Chinese, Vegetarian, Appetizers
Yield: 6 servings

1/2 lb Cellophane noodles
2 lg Onions, sliced very thin
2 Green peppers, sliced thin
6 Cloves garlic, minced
2 Jalapeno peppers, minced
1/2 To 2/3 c sesame oil
7 Or 8 med shiitake mushrooms,
-sliced very thin
3 Carrots, shredded
1 c Mint leaves, chopped
1 bn Basil, chopped
1 bn Cilantro, chopped
1 5″ piece ginger, peeled and
-minced
3/4 c Roasted peanuts, chopped
1/2 c Soy sauce
3 tb Teriyaki sauce
3 tb Black rice vinegar
1 tb Sugar
Juice from one lime
Black pepper to taste
1 pk Rice paper rounds
Vegetable oil for frying

These crispy rolls are made with Vietnamese rice paper
~ huge, round, translucent and very brittle. If you
cannot find these exotic rice paper sheets, you can
use filo dough instead (See Cook’s Note). I must say,
the first time I used these rice papers I almost gave
up after only three minutes. Be patient and practice
a bit. Once you get the hang of it, the rest will go
smoothly. Be sure to use plenty of water when
spraying the sheets, roll as quickly as possible and
keep the sheets covered as you work. A challenge
indeed, but well worth the effort. Rice papers as well
as cellophane noodles can be found in any Asian
supermarket.

Soak the cellophane noodles in warm water for 2 or 3
minutes. Cut into 4″ lengths and drain. Cook in
boiling water until done, about 4 or 5 minutes. Drain
and set aside.

Cook onions, green peppers, garlic and jalapeno
peppers in the sesame oil over high heat until wilted.
Stir frequently to prevent burning. When the
vegetables are wilted, add the shiitake mushrooms and
cook over low heat until they are soft but not mushy.
Place in a large bowl and cool. When the mixture is
cool, add all the remaining ingredients except the
rice paper and vegetable oil. Taste and adjust
seasonings.

To assemble: Take one sheet of rice paper out of the
package, dip in a large bowl of water, or spray using
a plastic spray bottle, and lay out on a flat surface.
Quickly place about 3 Tbs of the filling on the bottom
of the round and roll up, tucking the ends in as you
go. Seal with more water and set aside, seam side
down. Make all rolls in this fashion. Heat about 2″
of vegetable in a large skillet. When the oil it hot,
but not smoking, add the rolls in batches and cook
until golden brown on all sides. Remove from pan and
drain on lint-free towels; do not use paper towels as
the wrappers will stick to the paper. Serve
immediately.

COOK’S NOTE:

If using filo dough, cut sheets into long rectangles,
approx. 6×8″ long. Place some filling at the bottom of
each piece of filo dough and roll up, tucking in the
ends as you go. Brush with melted unsalted butter to
seal. Cook in vegetable oil until golden brown. Be
sure to cover the stack of filo dough at all times
with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
