Spring rolls are a large variety of filled, rolled appetizers or dim sum found in many Asian cuisines.

I started out very unsure what I was doing to roll these, but after a few times, they got super easy to do.

There are so many creative unique fillings you can make with these rolls since they are made with raw vegetables and just about any cooked meats.

After these are made and rolled they are ready to eat and you can also make our easy peanut or other dipping sauce varieties that make every bite delicious to dip these in.

Spring Roll Styles

There are several versions of spring rolls on the net, some even fried, different Asian style and many versions with assorted fillings and seasonings.

I like them fresh not fried and we use fresh vegetables and cooked meats keeping them simple and low calorie plus I like my vegetables chopped fine not left whole.

Fresh spring rolls are very healthy, especially if you pack them full of raw veggies and cooked meats just check out my list below and pick out your favorites to use.

Also, spring roll wrappers are low in fat and calories, each one is around 30 calories so that's another bonus.

Keep in mind that anything can go into a spring roll, it's going to be your own creation and this is just a basic guideline of what we like in ours.

Tips for Making Spring Rolls

Lay a wrapper on a clean cutting board.
Scoop 1/4 cup filling on wrapper and form it into a log shape folding aways from you then halfway through, fold two sides in. Continue rolling until you reached the end. Secure edge by dampening with water
Only moisten one wrapper at a time and work fast, it takes seconds to moisten in water or they will be too sticky to work with
These are best eaten the same day you make them
All meats or seafood must be cooked first
All vegetables are raw and shredded, chopped fine, or can be done in a food processor
Rice paper tip: these can be purchased online or in any Asian market. For Using Rice Paper Tip: For best results, soften the rice paper in water prior to use. Be careful not to soak them through.
Lay them out on a flat surface and add fresh ingredients to the center. Make sure to leave enough room around the edges so that you can roll them up. Fold over one side to cover the filling. Fold over the other side and finish rolling. Enjoy!

Chopping Fresh Vegetables

Anything vegetables I use for the filling are put into a food processor, just not the meats.

Personally, I find the flavors meld together better and just easier to stuff and eat.

If you're in a hurry you can substitute a bag of coleslaw already chopped in the supermarket instead of using fresh cabbage.
