Introduction

This recipe is really easy; it's really more of a process than a recipe. Rice paper wrappers, which are available in the ethnic sections of most larger supermarkets these days, are a great way to wrap your veggies and protein for a quick snack or light lunch.

Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

    3 sheets rice paper

    Spicy Sauce
    1 T reduced-fat mayonnaise
    1 T sriracha

    Filling
    1 c carrots, shredded
    1 c broccoli slaw or chopped broccoli
    2 bell peppers, sliced
    1 c mushrooms, sliced

    Protein: select one, (nutritional info is based on chicken)
    6 oz chicken breast, shredded
    6 oz turkey, sliced
    6 oz tofu, crumbled

Tips

Use whatever vegetables and protein you have on hand; feel free to improvise! The only tricky part is learning how to handle the rice paper; after that, it's a cinch!


Directions

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

Fill a shallow dish with hot tap water. Working one at a time, immerse the rice paper in the hot water. Remove from the water and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel. Spread sauce on the rice paper, then fill with 1/3 of the vegetables and meat or tofu.

Fold in sides of the paper to form a seal, then roll from the bottom of the circle away from you to form an egg roll shape. Repeat until all three rice papers have been filled. Serve immediately.

Makes 3 rolls.

    I'm vietnamese and we always eat spring rolls. We put shrimp or pork, lettuce, cucumbers, fresh mint, basil, and rice vermicelli noodles in ours. - 2/8/10

    I don't think these need any kind of mayonnaise at all. Our Vietnamese restaurant serves these with a rice vinegar-based dipping sauce and they are amazing. And yes, shrimp, lettuce, cucumber, vermicelli, fresh basil and mint, plus pickled daikon and carrot are all you need. Delicious. - 6/20/10

    Delicious! I mixed some fish sauce in with the slaw mix before making the rolls and didn't need any of the mayonnaise sauces. Try finding "Three Ladies" brand of rice paper -- it's the best I've found. There's a good article on buying various rice papers at the Viet World Kitchen website. - 7/1/10
