Fragrant mushroom egg rolls from Spice Market

I love egg rolls. Okay, they’re fried and all but that’s okay once in a while. And I’m always a sucker for unique ingredients like galangal, which is in the ginger family and often used in Southeast Asian dishes.

These egg rolls are served at Spice Market, which is still going strong in the Meatpacking District. Read about Spice Market’s Chef Anthony Ricco in my Q&A with him in Haute Living.

Enjoy!

½ tbsp. garlic, minced

4 oz. butter, cut into 1” cubes

1 lb oyster mushroom, stemmed, sliced ½” thick

1½ Tbsp. lemon zest

1 Tbsp.young ginger, peeled

1 Tbsp. chervil, picked and freshly chopped
