Vegetable Spring Roll

It was the weekend and I fancied a Chinese..... But a low fat one and one not full of MSG. I found these little beauties in Tesco on offer back last month and they've been patiently waiting in the freezer ever since! They are perfect for spring rolls, (as the packaging states),  have a bit of elasticity and crisp up really nicely! I just needed to take them out of the freezer half hour before I needed to use them, peel away the number of sheets I needed and then reseal the pack and put them back in the freezer for next time! 



In the past I've tried to make spring rolls with filo pastry, but it just doesn't work, is too flaky and burns too quickly! So.... If you see these in your local supermarket, stock up!!! 

Each sheet is 1 pp and makes 2 spring rolls. 

Veg Spring Rolls
Serves 2
4 pp per person



Ingredients
1 tbsp sesame oil 
Equal quantities of 
      Cabbage, shredded
      Carrot, shredded
      Bean sprouts 
10 Spring onion, finely sliced
Salt and pepper
Juice of 1 lime

Method

1. Mix everything together 
2. Cut each sheet in half and place a spoon of mixture by the top of each strip and roll, ensuring it's tight and the edges are sealed! It may take a bit of practice but unlike filo pastry, the elasticity helps! 
3. Place on a baking tray which has been sprayed with oil and bake in a medium oven until nice and brown.
4. Serve with sweet chilli sauce! Um um um....

We had them followed by Singapore Noodles ( a recipe I posted in February),a two course Chinese meal for 15pp! Bargain
