Spring Rolls

My Family is not inclined to eat sandwiches day after day. We get tired of them, learn to dislike them emensly. For me it is the bread. I just get tired of the texture, the heavy feel in my mouth espessially homemade bread, which is what we live on. So.... Spring rolls is a good alternative, lots of vegitables a little meat and no bread and believe it or not they are cheap.

Now if you buy them allready made at you grocery store they are $2.50 each. If you make them yourself they are $.50 each. That may be cheaper then a sandwich.

What is in a spring roll? In mine there is Chicken, Lettuce, carrots, cucumber, onion and Sweat chili sauce, All rolled up in Rice Paper. All you have to do is soak your rice paper for 2 minutes in water then pat them dry, Place them on a dry cutting board, cover with leatuce and fill with ingrediants then roll it up like a burrito. This will take practice to perfect.  Refiridgerate and enjoy they are great to pack for lunches.

Notes: make sure you don't soak your paper to long it will tear when you roll it. also for the same reason your lettuce should be slightly limp.

You will want two for a meal.
$1 for lunch i will take it.
