Vegetable Spring Rolls

I’ve been looking into making egg rolls ever since I saw a cooking show this past weekend. However I don’t want to deep fry them! I want a little crunch but not soaking them in fat either, I came across this website www.inbalance.com this mom cooks alot of Vegan so I find myself wanting to try this one!! Well one it’s easier using phyllo sheets they say, and two its super healthy, they are only 33g of calories and 1g of fat isn’t that crazy! I could eat these as a meal! For those of you who do like a little meat, change the name to Turkey Vegetable Rolls and add some ground turkey in their!! I’m tempted to try it either way! Thanks again Trish!

  • cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of rice wine vinegar
  • 1 package coleslaw mix salad – 14 oz
  • 1 cup mung bean sprouts
  • 8 sheets of phyllo pastry
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil for brushing pastry
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Spray pan with cooking spray, add onion and saute until translucent.

Add garlic and ginger, coleslaw, soy sauce. vinegar and bean sprouts. Saute until wilted and soft. Make sure the sprouts have released most of their water and this liquid has evapourated away. Otherwise your rolls will be soggy and you don’t want that. Set aside to cool while you prepare the phyllo pastry.

Lay 2 sheets of phyllo pastry on your work surface. If you haven’t worked with phyllo before you should know that it tears and dries out very easily.  Cover the sheets you are not using with a damp dish towel whilel they wait their turn.Very lightly, brush the top sheet with canola oil. Take 2 tbsp. of coleslaw and sprout mixture and spread it along the pastry in a thin line.

Roll the phyllo around the filing and continue rolling until you get half way up. I then tucked in the sides.

Then finished rolling all the way so they form a nice pocketed roll.

Repeat these steps until you have 6 rolls.  I put them on a cooling rack ontop of a baking sheet and sprayed some cooking spray on them and added the seseme seeds.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. I did flip them half way through.

Remove from the oven and serve with duck sauce!!

Look at that yumminess inside! I can’t believe they are only 33 calories each!!!! WOW!
