## The Essence of Churros

Originating from Spain, Churros have become a beloved treat worldwide.

Contrary to popular belief, they aren't native to Mexico. In fact, many tourists in Spain are often surprised to find Churros being sold at every corner, reminiscent of the streets of Madrid.

These deep-fried pastries, with their signature ridges, are a testament to Spain's rich culinary heritage.

## Ingredients for the Perfect Churros

## Churros Batter

- 1½ cups (355 ml) water, at room temperature
- 30 grams salted butter (add a pinch of salt if using unsalted)

## Crafting the Churros

1. Begin by boiling water and adding butter, sugar, and baking powder.

4. Deep fry the piped dough in hot oil until they turn a golden brown.
5. Serve with the molten chocolate sauce and enjoy!

## Making the Molten Chocolate Sauce

1. Heat fresh milk and dark chocolate in a sauce pot.

## What Pairs Well with Churros?

Churros can be enjoyed on their own, but pairing them with a side elevates the experience. Consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of Spanish latte. The combination of hot and cold, or sweet and bitter, can be truly mesmerizing.

## Tips and Tricks

- For a unique twist, consider adding orange zest to the chocolate sauce.
- If you don't have a piping bag, shape the dough into small balls and fry. Chef RV also showed us how to use a piping tip with a star tip to form the curros. It does take a bit of patience though!
- Always serve Churros fresh for the best taste and texture.
- Do not overmix the churros dough so that it will not be too hard.

## Substitutes for the Adventurous Cook

If you're having trouble sourcing some ingredients or want to experiment, consider these substitutes:

- Ground Pork: Ground chicken or tofu can be used for a leaner or vegetarian version.
- Cheddar Cheese: Try mozzarella or cream cheese for a creamier texture.
- Spring Roll Wrappers: Can't find these? Use phyllo dough or even lettuce for a low-carb option.

## Enhance Your Lumpiang Shanghai Experience

Lumpiang Shanghai shines when paired with a bowl of hot steamed rice or pansit, a traditional Filipino noodle dish. You could also add a side of adobo, a soy-vinegar stew, for a hearty meal.

## The Secret to a Crispy Lumpiang Shanghai

To ensure a crispy exterior that doesn't get soggy, make sure your oil is at the right temperature before frying. Too low, and your rolls will absorb too much oil. Too high, and they'll burn before cooking through.

## What Are The Secrets In Making The Best Lumpiang Shanghai?

- Choose your ground pork wisely. The fat content will usually make the dish tastier, but if you want a healthier version, go for less fat ground pork.
- Add more carrots, onions and garlic as you prefer. I would add even more garlic if I can.
- The secret ingredient here is the cheddar cheese. Most recipes don't use cheese, but adding cheese makes a world of difference.
- When rolling the meat into the lumpia wrapper, be sure to roll them tight. Use some egg wash to fasten the wrapper together. No need to fold the edges of the wrapper in.
- Before frying the lumpia, cut them into 2-3 inch pieces. This ensures the lumpia will stay crunchy longer as there will be more air circulation around the meat. Feel free to trim off the edges of the wrapper as you prefer.
- When frying, be sure your oil is at 180C or 350F. You can test this by dropping a piece of the lumpia wrapper into the oil. If it starts to bubble briskly, then you're good to go.
- Be sure to fry only until golden brown. Try to not to overcook nor burn them.

## What Are The Serving Suggestions For Lumpia?

You can serve Lumpiang Shanghai as a hot appetizer or as a main dish with rice.

Lumpia is also usually served with some sweet chilli dipping sauce.

A lot of people also enjoy eating lumpia as a snack and even as a street food.

## Ingredients

- 200 grams of pasta
- 250 grams of pasta water (reserved from boiling the pasta)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon of salt, to taste

2. Simultaneously, grab a large pan and sauté the garlic and chili flakes in olive oil.
3. Introduce the leeks to the pan and sauté until they wilt. Next, add in the mushrooms and cook until they're soft and tender.
4. Now, it's time for the pasta and pasta water to join the party. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
5. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle in the dried oregano and thyme. Stir well, and voilà, your Leek and Mushroom Pasta is ready to serve!

## Preparation and Cooking Technique

Here are some of our quick tips to get the best out of this dish:

- Be sure to clean your leeks to remove all remaining dirt or sand. Keep only the white part of the leeks, cutting off the roots and the green leaves on top. Slice the leeks lengthwise, rinse under water, then chop.
- Slice the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Remember that mushrooms tend to become smaller when cooked, so adjust the size of your slices accordingly.
- Cook the pasta slightly just before al-dente. We will finish it off with the vegetables and the sauce in a pan.
- Add as much garlic as you want! Add the garlic to the oil even before the oil is hot to avoid burning the garlic.
- Saute the leeks and mushrooms until soft and tender. This will release all those flavourful juices that will make the dish fabulous.
- Once the leeks and mushrooms are cooked, add the cooked pasta and the pasta water and toss over medium heat until the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Don't forget to season with salt and pepper towards the end of the cooking process to ensure the perfect balance of seasoning is achieved.

## FAQs

### What can I use instead of leeks?

Onions or shallots are excellent substitutes for leeks. They provide a similar texture and mild, sweet flavor.

### Can I use any type of pasta?

Absolutely! Feel free to use whatever pasta you have on hand. However, long pasta like spaghetti or fettuccine tends to work best with this kind of sauce.

### Is there a vegan alternative for this dish?

Definitely! You can substitute the regular pasta with a vegan variant and use a plant-based oil in place of olive oil if desired.

### Can I freeze this pasta for later use?

Yes, this dish freezes quite well. Just ensure you cool it completely before freezing. When you're ready to eat, defrost and reheat it, adding a bit of water if needed.

### How can I make my pasta more flavorful?

To intensify the flavors, sauté the garlic until it's golden, and don't shy away from the herbs! Fresh herbs can add a lot more flavor than dried ones.
