While at the supermarket the other day, I was browsing in the Asian foods aisle (my favorite aisle in the store) and came across Blue Dragon rice paper wrappers. I got really excited because I realized I could make my own spring rolls and that these would be a lower carb solution to bread and normal wraps.
The beauty of these wraps is that you can fill them with anything and not go wrong. I just worked with what I had on hand, but any vegetables, meat, or fish will work. I dipped mine in a pre-made peanut sauce that I had sitting in the fridge. Soy sauce or any other homemade sauce would also serve as a great dipping option. Below is my recipe for the rolls I made, but like I said, any combination will work. For a crunchier roll, pan fry it in some coconut oil.
Ingredients
- 2 Blue Dragon rice paper wrappers
- 1 chicken breast cut into strips
- 1/4 cup shelled edamame
- Lemon pepper Mrs. Dash
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 carrot, peeled intro shreds
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 radishes, sliced into thin sticks
- Dipping sauce of choice, I used peanut
Directions
- Thaw the frozen edamame.
- In a food processor, mix the edamame, garlic, and Mrs. Dash until a chunky paste is formed.
- Prepare the rice paper wrappers by running under warm water until pliable.
- Place the wrapper on a cutting board and layer half of the edamame mixture, some carrot strips, radish pieces, some avocado, and some chicken pieces.
- Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll from the bottom up. Use a dash of water to seal the edge.
- Repeat with the other wrapper and remaining ingredients.
- Serve with the dipping sauce. Enjoy!
