How to Prepare Spring Rolls

We all know that rice is a staple in many cultures, but did you know that it can 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.

These wraps have a light, fluffy texture (which is surprisingly not as heavy feeling) and the perfect level of elasticity which means the spring rolls can be folded up easily without breaking apart!

Spring rolls are a fun and light snack that can be made in advance for quick lunches.

This recipe includes a sweet and spicy sauce to add some flavor to your meal.

Use organic ingredients

Note: I use organic ingredients and grass-fed meats as much as possible. This way, I can get beneficial nutrients and avoid harmful pesticides, hormones, and chemicals that affect our thyroid and health in general.

Preparation of spring rolls

1. Take lettuce and cut the bottom part of its head.
2. Carefully peel away each leaf.
3. Next, wash and dry the lettuce.
4. Peel the carrot and slice cucumber (don’t forget to remove the seeds). Cut all into strips.
5. Soften the rice wrappers by following the directions on the package.
6. Fill the rolls with lettuce, asparagus, alfalfa sprouts, carrot sticks, avocado, and cucumber.

Note: You can add more protein like chicken or salmon(previously cooked) if you want.

7. Wrap the rolls like a burrito and leave the opposite side open (fold the bottom of the wrap first and then move to both sides).

Once wrapped, you can enjoy your delicious spring rolls!
