Easy Spring Rolls


So we haven't blogged in a while to say the least! But this recipe was worth blogging! One day while shopping around the grocery I found "spring roll wrappers" I was actually thinking about buying some seaweed for sushi but decided I wasn't quite that adventurous. So I brought home the wrappers and decided to figure out what we could stuff in these yummy packages. Below you'll find the "exact" measurements of things you'll need and some pictures to help you plug along as you create your own spring roll concoctions.

1 Medium Sized Yellow Onion (finely chopped)
1 Cup Green Onions (finely chopped)
2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce
2 Table spoons of butter or butter substitute
1 LB of Salmon (we've also used ground pork, ground turkey, and ground beef which are equally good)
1 Cup Shaved Carrots
1 Table Spoon of Olive Oil
1 Cup of White Rice


In a medium sized heat up the oil. Once warmed add the carrots and onions and good on medium for about 5 minutes (or until the onions become translucent & Carrots slightly soften) Then add 1 table spoon of soy sauce, butter and the salmon. Cook the salmon through breaking it up into pieces as it cooks. When the salmon is cooked through add the additional tablespoon of soy and the green onions. Let the mixture sit on low for 5 to 10 minutes stirring consistently.



In another pan we cooked 1 cup of white rice as directed.
