fresh spring rolls
I love this a an alternative to rice dishes, which can be high in carbs
In Asian food stores, there are things call 'rice papers" they are big, round, paper thin and whte
I bring some water is a large flat fry skillet to a gentle boil, put 1 in at a time, for a few seconds only
Take it out and fill with:
Lettuce leaves
Shredded carrot and cucomber
finely chopped green onion
finely chopped garlic
Fresh herbs: basil, coriander, mint
a protein: preferrably steamed chicken or shrimp
Roll it up nice and top with this simple dressing:
6 peanuts crushed
2 TBS rice wine vinegar
a touch of sweetener
a sprinkle of cayenne or dry red chille
chopped shallots
YUM!

Oops, forgot to add mung bean sprouts for extra crunch0

Ooh, that sounds yummy. Spring rolls are also great with tofu. At the deli where I used to work, we filled them with lettuce, sprouts, tofu, and rice noodles and served them with thai peanut sauce. Soooo yummy! Unfortunately I moved to a smaller town that doesn't have an asian foods store, so I haven't been able to eat spring rolls in a long time.0

Wow that sounds delicious, I will definitely give it a try!
Thanks!0 -
Can you tell me how to get the rice paper to not be so dang sticky!?!?0
-
I want to make some but I hate the peanut sauce they serve with them in the US. In France it's some kind of orange sauce that is so much tastier. Got to find that recipe first...0

@Francl27 is it like duck sauce? Or actually orange flavored like this orange chili dipping sauce.
I love peanut sauce0 -
i LOVE making rice paper wraps!!! so good with peanut sauce0
-
I love those too! I usually also put in rice vermicelli and baked tofu, but for lower calories veggies are better. Thai basil is also good. So yum with peanut sauce!!0
