Try: Spring Rolls for Spring

Two Aprils ago I was home in Seattle cooking delicious food with my mom. We tried spring rolls and it surprised me how creative you can get with the veggies in spring rolls. Who knew? Almost anything goes. You could almost just go with the vegetables already in your fridge.

When you think of a spring roll, do you think of something fresh or something fried? Often spring rolls are in the appetizer part of a restaurant menu, and most often they are fried. Yes?
I think you should try these, they are super fresh. What's better then that on a spring day?

Recipe: Spring Rolls with Rice Balls

Spring Rolls are filled with:
spinach
carrots
sweet potato
toasted sesame seeds
red pepper
cilantro
basil
ginger

+key here is to cut vegetables small and thin (we even food processed the carrots)

Peanut Sauce:
homemade almond butter
agave
tamari

Rice Balls (pure genius by the way):
pressure cooked* brown rice and sweet brown rice

rolled in toasted sesame seeds and sea salt

*I had never used a pressure cooker before, but I am so fascinated and would love to have a nice one of my own. Do you have/use a pressure cooker?
