Fresh Springroll

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Spinach Leaves
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
  • Turkey Meatballs (recipe below)
  • Round Rice Paper Wraps, I used Greenland Rice Paper from Sprouts
  • Rice Noodles, I used Annie Chun’s Rice Noodles from Sprouts
  • Serve with Sweet Red Chili Sauce, I used Thai Kitchen Sweet Red Chili Sauce

Directions

  1. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and set aside for the spring rolls.
  2. Remove the basil leaves from the stems and set aside.
  3. Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Boil rice noodles for 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water for about 30 seconds or until cool.
  4. Fill a large saucepan with warm water. Dip one round rice wrapper into the hot water for 5 seconds to soften. Lay wrapper flat. In a row across the center place any combination of rice noodles, basil, red bell pepper and turkey meatballs (cut in half to fit), leaving about 2 inches uncovered on each side. Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end with the lettuce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  5. Serve rolled spring rolls with sweet thai sauce.
