We all know that rice is a staple in many cultures; however, did you know that it can also be an excellent substitute for wheat flour? In this recipe, I’m going to show you how to make some delicious spring rolls from rice flour. Not only do these wraps have a light, fluffy texture (which is surprisingly not as heavy feeling), but they also boast the perfect level of elasticity. Consequently, the spring rolls can be folded up easily without breaking apart!
Furthermore, spring rolls are a fun and light snack that can be prepared in advance for quick lunches. To enhance the flavor of your meal, this recipe also includes a sweet and spicy sauce that pairs beautifully with the rolls.

- ¼ teaspoon of garlic
- ¼ teaspoon of grated ginger
- ¼ -½ teaspoon of avocado oil
- A pinch of salt and pepper
- Chili flakes
- ¼ teaspoon unsweetened jam from apricot or mango (optional).

- Dissolve the cornstarch or tapioca starch into a cup with 3 tablespoons of water.

- Stir for 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to get slightly thick.

How Does This Recipe benefit Your Thyroid?
1. Garlic and Ginger
Garlic and ginger both contain powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support detoxification and protect the thyroid from oxidative stress, promoting overall thyroid health.
2. Avocado and Olive Oil
Both avocado and olive oil are rich in healthy fats and antioxidants. These nutrients are essential not only for thyroid hormone production but also for protecting the thyroid from oxidative damage.

Coconut aminos, a soy sauce alternative, and optional fruit jams provide natural sweetness and antioxidants. As a result, they help support the body’s overall health and well-being while aiding in thyroid function.
4. Cornstarch or Tapioca Starch
These gluten-free starches are excellent for thickening sauces. Additionally, they are easy to digest, which in turn supports nutrient absorption, a critical factor for maintaining optimal thyroid health.

Water is essential for detoxification and maintaining hydration. This, in turn, is essential for thyroid health and the production of thyroid hormones.
6. Rice Wrappers
These are full of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, which support healthy digestion, detoxification, and overall thyroid health.
