- 6 pieces dried shiitake mushrooms
- 1 pound (about 5 to 6 large pieces) galunggong, cleaned, gutted, and heads removed
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- water
- canola oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped

Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, soak shiitake mushrooms in warm water for about 30 minutes or until softened. Remove from water and squeeze excess liquid. Finely chop and set aside.
- 2
In a pot over medium heat, combine fish, soy sauce, and enough water to cover fish. Bring to a boil, removing any scum that floats on top. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or just until fish can be easily flaked from the bones.
- 3
Remove fish, discarding liquid. Let cool to touch and flake flesh, discarding bones.
- 4
In a wide skillet over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onions and garlic and cook softened.
- 5
Add water chestnuts and shiitake mushrooms. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until heated.
- 6
Add flaked fish and cook until just heated through.
- 7
Add Chinese celery and continue to cook until celery is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan and drain excess liquid, if any.
- 8
Separate spring roll wrappers into individual sheets. On a flat working surface, lay wrapper like a diamond.
- 9
Spoon about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of fish mixture on the middle of the wrapper. Fold the bottom pointed end of wrapper over filling. Fold side ends of the sheet inward and roll into a log. Wet the pointed edge of the wrapper with water to completely seal. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
