Chicken and Veggie Fried Spring Roll - $8.00

Use filling from the Chicken Lettuce Wraps without the dipping sauce.
Lettuce Wrap Filling          $5.00
Spring Roll Wrappers        $3.00
Carrot (optional)  
Oil           
Total                                $8.00





To make spring rolls take sheet of spring roll paper and soak in water until pliable.  Spoon generous portion of filling and roll like you would a burrito. You can add shredded carrot to the filling for more texture if desired.

Set aside for about 20-30 minutes to let wrap dry.

Once wraps are dry pour enough oil into a sauce pan so the rolls can fry without touching the bottom.  Heat oil to 375 degrees.

Once oil is heated place 1 roll into oil and heat until wraps are light brown in color.

Remove and set on paper towel to remove excess grease.

Let cook for about 5 minutes and enjoy!  I serve these with white rice.

1 Tbs lemon juice

This is a low carb recipe that we love in our house! If you want to make it less low carb replace the Splenda with Sugar and leave out the molasses.

For Wraps:

Place the water chestnuts, mushrooms, and scallions in your food processor with the chopping blade in place. Pulse just enough to chop everything to a medium consistency.

Combine the soy sauce, Splenda, blackstrap molasses, garlic, and rice vinegar. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over highest heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry, breaking it up as it cooks. When about half of the pink is gone from the chicken, add the chopped vegetables and stir-fry everything together for a few more minutes. When the chicken is cooked through, stir in the seasoning mixture and let everything cook together for just another minute or so. 

To eat place large spoonful into a piece of iceberg lettuce and drizzle with dipping sauce if desired.

For Dipping Sauce:

Combine all ingredients together in bowl and mix with a whisk.
