This awesome appetizer makes the best finger food. Roll up some cabbage, celery and chickpeas in a egg roll blanket and fry until golden. Serve with hot, plum sauce and you'll be the snack hero.
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 green onions with tops, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups shredded napa cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
4 ounces fresh or canned bean sprouts, rinsed
1 can (15 ounce size) chick-peas, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
peanut or vegetable oil
1 egg (beaten)
12 egg roll wrappers
Combine sesame seeds and sesame oil in large skillet. Cook and stir over low heat 2 to 3 minutes or until sesame seeds begin to brown. Add green onions, ginger and garlic; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes. Add cabbage, carrots, celery, mushrooms and bean sprouts; cover.
Cook 8 minutes or until cabbage is wilted. Stir in chick-peas and soy sauce; season to taste with pepper, if desired. Cool 10 minutes; stir in egg.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Instead of shredding napa cabbage I just used some of the finely shredded pre-packaged cabbage you use for coleslaw. The chickpeas were a little unusual in an eggroll, but I kinda like them. It doesn't specify what kind of mushrooms to use. I used shiitake because I thought button mushrooms might get a little watery.
