Spring Rolls

Okay, ladies.  I'm going to be the first to post my Cultural Night recipe.  The rest of you had better follow, because that was some GOOD FOOD!!  And can someone ask Natie to post his gumbo recipe?  That was super delish!

Okay, here's how you make our Spring Rolls.


Ingredients:
Snow peas, sliced lengthwise and sauteed in a little bit of minced garlic
Bean sprouts
Grated carrots
Rice stick noodles (we used fresh at Mom and Dad's, but we usually use dried), cooked
Chicken, cut in small pieces, cooked with minced garlic
Cilantro
Spring roll wrappers (they're made out of tapioca flour)
Peanut sauce (or we substitue Asian Toasted Sesame dressing by Kraft--it's good, but without any kick)



Assemble the like a taco.  You can see our little "station" set up with a pack of spring roll wrappers, a pie plate with HOT water in it.  We put the wrapper in for about 15 seconds, until it is soft.  (Hint:  When we take one out to use, we put the next one in to soften.  It's usually done by the time we're done assembling the first one.  Saves time.)


Wrap them up like a taco, dip them in peanut sauce, and serve with fried rice, if desired.  We LOVE these so much, and can eat a TON.  They are so delicious and healthy.
