My diet version of spring rolls. The original recipe uses rice paper wrappers and rice vermicelli that I'm not going to use in this no-carb diet version.
Some breast chicken cut in sticks... (I cooked it in a broth made with some vegetables and spices),
Fresh soy bean sprout (or canned ones but this is definitely not as good as fresh ones),
Some shrimps,
Some mint leaves,
We also need some lettuce leaves in order to shape the rolls (instead of the rice paper). Put down all the ingredients on the lettuce leaves and form a roll...
Try to make it tight (I know this is not that easy)
Diets aren't funny but sometimes we manage to cook some good and funny things...
Those spring rolls have to be served with the due sauce,
check out the proportions :
- 4 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp fish sauce (nuoc mam)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or white vinegar or even lemon juice)
- 1 tsp sugar
Boil all these ingredients until the sugar dissolved. Then you can flavor it with ground garlic, sliced hot pepper or grated carrot or even roasted sesame seeds. Let cool down and serve it cold.
You know what ? I really really liked it, it was so fresh and light ! And the sauce really looks like the ones we would find in the Chinese restaurants !!!
