Fresh Spring Rolls

Here is another of my favorite things to eat. When we were doing the daniel fast I started cooking a lot of asian dishes because they have a lot to offer. So I came across this one. Is very easy to make and you can change it up quite easily. Without further ado here is teh spring roll recipe.

Ingredients:

  • Spring roll paper or skin
  • Cubumber sliced into matchtick-like pieces or julianne
  • Carrots  sliced into matchtick-like pieces or julianne
  • Avocado, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
  • Scallions chopped lenght wise to also be about the size of carrots
  • You can add, basil, cilantro, green leafy lettuce, etc. 
  • Nice noodles
  • You can use chicken, shrimp, tofu or if you doing the daniel fast just vegetables. 
  • Peanut sauce or your liking
Directions:
  1. Cook the rice noodles as directed on package. It usually takes about 3 minutes.
  2. You need a bowl of water so you can soften the rice paper. Dip paper in water and don't leave it too long or it will dilute in the water. So once it becomes soft take it out an place on a plate.
  3. Add a little bit of the ingredients and you can try different combinations. The picture above has carrots, cucumbers, rice noodles, scallions, green leafy lettuce. 
  4. Now roll them like you would an egg roll or a burrito.
  5. During the Daniel fast I made my own peanut sauce by adding Adams 100% peanut butter, water, soy sauce or tamari, chayenne pepper and salt to taste and a little bit of vinegar.
