Vegetable spring roll

Do you like to snack in between meals?? Well, who doesn't love that.. How about a cookie or a samosa?? Wait...Think again..do you really want to eat that butter, sugar or oil to satisfy your appetite? Not always..(I know sometimes the answer is "Yes" :) ) Here comes the very fresh, crisp and healthy snack for you.. It is so easy that any one can make it at home provided you have the freshest veggies and rice paper wraps with you..

I love to have vegetable spring roll with peanut sauce dip. The crunch you get at each bite...ah.. you should try it yourself...

Ingredients:

1. Carrot, julienned - 1 cup
2. Cabbage , thin strips - 1 cup
3. Lettuce leaves, small - 5
4. Glass noodles/ Rice, cooked - 5 tbs ( I have used basmati rice)
5. Mint leaves/ Basil leaves - 5
6. Rice paper wraps - 5

Method:

1. Take one rice paper wrap and dip it in warm water till it is soft. (takes less than a minute)
2. Place a small lettuce leaf in the center
3. Top it with  carrots, cabbage and a tbs of rice or noodles. Adjust the quantity of veggies so that you can fold the wrap well.
4. Place a mint leaf or basil leaf on top
5. Fold the wrap according to the pic shown.
6. Repeat the same with all the wraps

Tada..vegetable spring roll is ready to be served.
