BBQ BRISKET EGG ROLLS
This is a great dish to make the Sunday after you've had brisket. You can buy the egg roll wrappers at Whole Foods or your local Asian market. If you have leftover brisket, you could have this dish on the table in less than an hour. You can also buy premade brisket at your favorite market.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the brisket and about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce. Make sure there is enough sauce to moisten the meat but not overly saturate it.
- Lay each egg roll wrapper flat on a clean, dry work surface. Evenly fill the center of each wrapper with about 2 tablespoons of the brisket mixture and 1 tablespoon of the cabbage. Leave a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the wrapper.
- Using your finger, moisten the top portion of the wrapper with water.
- Starting at the bottom, fold the lower portion of the wrapper over the brisket filling. Tuck in each of the sides, as you would wrap a burrito. Continue rolling up from the bottom. Press to seal the moistened wrapper edge to the roll. Turn over to keep the seal at the bottom.
- To bake the egg rolls: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large sauté pan. Working in batches, brown the egg rolls, turning to cook them evenly in the hot oil, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Once all the egg rolls are browned, transfer the rack and baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until heated through.
- To deep-fry the egg rolls: Fill a large Dutch oven halfway with oil and heat it to 350 degrees F. Working in batches of four, and returning the oil to 350 degrees F before each batch, fry the egg rolls until golden, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes; drain on paper towels.
- Serve the egg rolls with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
- Whisk together all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool before using. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Makes 3 cups.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, then add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the ginger and chile. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a touch of water if the pan is too dry. Cook until the cabbage is tender and begins to caramelize. Season to taste. Makes about 4 cups.
BRISKET SUMMER ROLLS WITH SRIRACHA-BARBECUE MAYONNAISE
With Vietnamese-American communities thriving in Texas cities, delicious mashups were inevitable, like this summer roll stuffed with glass noodles, fresh herbs and smoky barbecued beef instead of the traditional pristine shrimp. Dennis Ngo, a self-trained chef, devised it as a way to serve all the pieces of the whole briskets he smokes for Lonestar Empire, his roving barbecue business in New York City. The slick of spicy, barbecue sauce-flavored mayo is pure pleasure.

Steps:
- Combine mayonnaise and barbecue sauce, and stir until smooth. Season to taste with lime juice and sriracha, and set aside. (Can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated.)
- Put the rice vermicelli in a large bowl. Cover with boiling water, add the salt and let soak, swishing occasionally, until soft but still resilient, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. Let drain for at least 30 minutes, or spread on a plate and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, set out all the ingredients on a clean surface. Half-fill a bowl wide enough to fit the wrappers with lukewarm water. Place 1 wrapper in the water and pat it, gently bending to test, until pliable but not completely soft. Shake off excess water and lay the wrapper down.
- Place a straight line of mint and basil leaves across the circle, about 2 inches up from the bottom edge. Plump up that line with a small clump of vermicelli, a pinch of do chua and 1/8 of the brisket. Drizzle a scant teaspoon of barbecue mayonnaise over the meat. Finish with red cabbage and 2 cilantro sprigs.
- Bring bottom edge of wrapper tightly up over the filling, then fold the sides in to cover. Continue to roll upward, tightly but gently, and place finished rolls on a plate, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining rolls. Cover rolls with lettuce leaves to keep them fresh. Serve as soon as possible.
