Spring Rolls or How I Learned to LOVE Making Ridiculously Healthy Foods

[OakLeaf]

Mmmmmmm, great ideas!

If you want to go all the way raw (and avoid heating up the kitchen even more), use zucchini sliced lengthwise, very thin, for wrappers.

Great stuff!

Fishy one, obviously one could also try:

Shrimp (poached or pan-seared after marinated lightly in oil/soy sacue)
Crabmeat
Smoked salmon
Smoked trout

Use a bit of lettuce to line wrapper skin first.
Also can use finely julienned/sticks of daikon/white radish for any type of roll.



Do you eat Swiss chard raw??

[tangentgirl]

Do you fry them or bake them?

Try them with bananas.

I have the rice-wraps a lot in the summer when it's hot out and I don't want to use heat or have something cooler to eat. What makes or breaks for me is the sauce. I use President's Choice Memories of Szechuan peanut sauce. Without it, it's just not all that good...

Do you eat yours plain without any sauces?

[Susan]

Great ideas. I still have some of the spring roll papers around and never really knew what to fill into them - now I will give them a try tomorrow

I do eat swiss chard raw!

Also, I generally use either sweet chili sauce or sriracha. I have been known to make peanut sauce by hand, but it's pretty fattening so not as of late.

Chard is very tender when it's young! You don't know what you're missing if you only get the elephant-ear-sized leaves in the grocery store.
