Spring Rolls


These were surprisingly simple (after conquering the difficulties posed by the sticky rice paper).
Ingredients:
Rice Paper Wrappers
Carrots
Spinach
Cabbage
Scallion
(or whatever veggies you might like)

Start by shredding the cabbage and carrots. Then slice the scallions and spinach into small pieces. Toss all the vegetables together in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Follow instructions on rice paper package to soften the wraps. For the wraps we used, it required that the wraps be emerged in boiling water for twenty seconds and dried on a towel. Be VERY careful to hold the wraps so that they will not stick to themselves.
Lay out the wraps on a clean surface (we used a cutting board). Put about a half a cup of filling in the wrapper by the edge, then careful roll it forward once. Fold the sides over the roll, and finish rolling forward (it's wrapped much in the way that a burrito is wrapped).
Bon appetite! We dipped ours in mango chutney and sweet chili sauce from Trader Joe's!
