CABBAGEY ROLLS


Wow, been forever since I posted last! I have been doing a lot of cooking, but always forget to take pictures or write down recipes. I did finally remember to take a pic, though (the second time I made this, forgot the first time), and the recipe is so simple that it didn't need writing down... so here we go! My healthy version of egg rolls! These are delicious, quick and easy, and with the wrappers I use, only about 63 calories per! Can't beat that!

CABBAGEY ROLLS!

Ingredients:
1/4 head cabbage, shredded
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, grated
3 eggs, beaten
5 Tbsp soy sauce
pepper to taste
12 spring roll wrappers

1. spray a pan or wok with cooking spray and fry the egg in a pancake until set. once cool, cut into strips.
2. using a nonstick wok, or a wok with a tablespoon of oil coating it, fry the cabbage, onion, and carrot with the soy sauce and pepper to taste. Cook until mixture is soft.
3. mix the vegetables with the egg and set aside to cool.
4. prepare the spring roll wrappers per directions. mine didn't include instructions, I just soaked it in warm water until soft.
5. place 3 tablespoons of mixture in the middle of the wrapper. fold the bottom up (loosely. if you try to make it tight it will rip), then fold in the sides and roll to the top.
6. chow down and make one for someone else!

Here is a picture of the spring roll wrappers I use. They are thin and translucent, just flour, salt, and water. The yellow ones in the refrigerated section are more like eggroll wrappers, containing egg, and are best cooked, not raw.
