I decided to try something new a few months ago and bought something that had NO instructions with it, but what looked like a hardened version of spring rolls. The package contained sheets of very hard, brittle giant squares of what appeared to be plastic. To the kids delight, it wasn't plastic!
I shredded carrots, cucumber, spinach for the "guts" of the spring roll. Then I put very warm water into a large frying pan and immersed one large square into the water. Within a couple of minutes, it had softened into what was a pliable wrap that surprisingly is easy to separate from itself when it sticks.
Very easily, the wrap can be spread out, the insides ("guts") can be plopped on top and then wrapped up and ends folded over. It stays securely wrapped this way.
I didn't measure anything when I made the dipping sauce, but I experimented until I created something that tasted similar to the "peanut" sauce served in Thai restaurants with spring rolls (it contains no peanuts or peanut oil). Below are the ingredients I used... have fun experimenting with proportions--- get the kids involved in the "tastings"-- they'll love it!
- Organic toasted sesame oil
- organic Agave necture
- Braggs liquid aminos
- Garlic powder
The kids enjoyed stuffing their own spring rolls. You could add variety by using different and creative "stuffing" ingredients. Add a salad to complete this fun meal.
