Spring Rolls!

David and I made our first batch of spring rolls last night along with some fried rice and ginger salad. It was a lot of work but everything turned out so well!

All ingredients were found at Whole Foods. It was the only place I could find the paper.

In our spring rolls: tofu, red bell pepper, avocado, mango, baby spinach

tofu included some Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce. I swear this sauce makes everything better!

13 papers = 1 serving according to the package (350cal.) If you eat 13 you are crazy! I calculated the paper to be about 27 calories each..
Here's a fun little video demo for you! (just over 1 minute):


Dipped in Veri Veri Teryaki (the best sauce ever!) and peanut sauce.
Served with David's fried rice (his had shrimp) and a ginger salad of baby spinach, peanuts, red bell pepper and ginger dressing.


They certainly didn't turn out perfect, but they were pretty good for first-timers! Next time we will let the wet paper sit a bit longer and roll the paper tighter when making the roll. Tight!
I definitely suggest making your own spring rolls. They are highly customizable and pretty easy. Oh yeah- and they're reallllyy tasty!

Is there any dish you were hesitant to try but loved once you finally tackled it? Anything that went drastically wrong?
