I'm lucky enough to live in an area with a good summer growing climate and amazing local farms. Everything in these rolls (except the shrimp) are from my farmer's market and garden! I switch up the fillings depending on what is in season, but I always have some sort of green and cucumbers. Each rice paper is around 30 calories so the rolls can be very low calorie, especially if you just do veggies! Some alternatives to shrimp could be chicken or marinated tofu.
As with most Thai dishes, the secret is to have everything prepped and ready to go. Once you start assembling, it goes fast! This is a fun meal to make with friends or little ones!

Fresh Spring Rolls are the best summer meal out there! They are flavorful, healthy, and easy to make!
ingredients:
- 1 Package Rice Paper Wrappers

- Purple Cabbage, Shredded

How to cook Thai Fresh Spring Rolls
- In a large sauce pan, heat about 3 inches of water until it's hot to the touch, but not boiling. Shut burner off. You should be able to put your fingers in there.
- Have all of your fillings prepped and laid out. I like to make my rolls right on my granite counter but a large, flat plate would also work fine.
- Dip rice paper in hot water for about 5 seconds, remove and let excess water drip for a few seconds. Lay flat on counter or plate.
- Fill, starting with shrimp on the bottom and then the rest of the fillings. I like to do the lettuce last.
- Fold like a burrito. Here is a great instructional video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfI1wMeDXhg
