I got adventurous today and made homemade eggrolls for the first time. For the sauce, I was able to find both kinds of oil at a local gourmet store that stoks a whole line of TV chef Ming Tsai's products. The only minor change I made was to add a little garlic. Why? well, because my fresh ginger seemed to have some garlic cloves inseparably glued to it. Instead of whisking the ingredients, I threw them all in the food processor - this emulsified the mixture somwhat so that, when one dipped the egg rolls, one got the full benefit of all the wonderful flavours in the sauce. I had never used fresh ginger before - I used ground ginger in the past. Oh, what a delightfully different and more subtle taste the fresh stuff lends to the sauce. You have made a convert out of me, Lennie - only fresh ginger from now on - it is most assuredly worth the time and effort to peel and grate it.
