Vegetarian Spring Rolls (Weelicious)

We have a friend who recently opened an delivery-only Chinese restaurant called — of course — Secret Chinese Delivery. The menu is based on the beloved New York City Chinese food he grew up on as a kid.

We visited our friend at another one of his restaurants a few months ago and he let us sample a few of the dishes he was working on for the menu. One of them were Vegetarian Spring Rolls stuffed, among other things, with a secret ingredient generally not seen on most Chinese restaurant menus: kale. Not only were the spring rolls delicious and packed with tons of diced vegetables, but they were super crispy too. After watching the kids gobble up one after another, I decided that I wanted to make my own homemade version.

Instead of frying them to get that crispy texture, I sautéed the spring rolls in a few tablespoons of coconut oil which not only made them crunchy, but imparted a really unique, tasty flavor.

They’re easier to make then you may think. Start with a wonton wrapper on a work surface in front of you with the diamond shape facing you as you can see above.

Spread the filling across the wonton wrapper.

Fold the sides in using a drop of water to adhere the two edges together.

Fold the bottom up covering the filling.

Roll up from bottom to the top using a drop of water to adhere the wonton wrapper and make sure it’s all sealed up.

Pan-fry the Vegetarian Spring Rolls and dip into a yummy sauce! That’s the real fun part.

I hope you have time to make a batch of these dreamy veggie-filled rolls for your Meatless Monday. And they don’t have to be a secret!
