\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spring Rolls are becoming one of our all-time favorite meals lately.\u00a0 They’re very vegetarian-friendly (although it’s easy to add meat, for any carnivores that would like it,) there’s not much “cooking” involved (although there is lots of chopping!) and they’re light and healthy.<\/p>\n

I made a “fancy” version last night, with a few extra ingredients and dipping sauces.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ingredients that I used (in large tray) are:<\/p>\n

rice noodles, sauteed sliced mushrooms, shredded romaine lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, sliced avocado, mung bean sprouts (that I grew myself!,) julienned red bell pepper, cucumber and carrot, grilled Teriyaki chicken, shrimp, baby corn and chopped water chestnuts.<\/p>\n

I also had some fresh chopped chives and peanuts and cilantro and mint leaves to add as garnish inside the rolls.<\/p>\n

The new dipping sauces that I tried were Hoisin dipping sauce<\/a> and a peanut dipping sauce<\/a>.\u00a0 The third one is the spicy\/sweet sauce<\/a> that we’ve used before.\u00a0 The spicy-sweet sauce is still Hubby’s favorite, but the kids and I LOVED the peanut sauce, so I will definitely be making that one again in the future.\u00a0 Deee-lish.<\/p>\n

For quantity\/planning purposes, in case you decide to make this, I used two boneless, skinless chicken breasts (marinated in Teriyaki sauce, then grilled and sliced) and about a cup of thawed, frozen, pre-cooked shrimp.\u00a0 I made a half-batch of the peanut sauce (single batches of the other two.)\u00a0 I used one can each of the water chestnuts and baby corn, one avocado, about a cup of sprouts, about 1\/4 of a red onion, about 1\/4 lb of mushrooms (sliced and sauteed in butter\/olive oil until softened and golden) and one romaine lettuce heart.\u00a0 I used half of an 8 ounce package of rice sticks\/rice vermicelli noodles<\/a> and less than one package of spring roll wrappers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was serving 6 people, one of whom is a vegetarian and two others of whom do not eat shrimp, but everyone at their fill and there were enough ingredients leftover to make 6 more vegetarian spring rolls (the meat was all gone) the next day.\u00a0 I also served some steamed, in-the-shell edamame along with this.\u00a0 If you’re serving REALLY hungry people, you might not have many\/any leftovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
