Crispy Spring Rolls

These delicious, savory spring rolls are filled with shredded vegetables, garlic, and ginger. The ingredients are oil-free and by using an air-fryer you can also cook them without oil. Fried foods, like traditional spring rolls, are hard on the liver and are problematic for anyone wanting to heal a chronic illness or symptom. This recipe gives you a way to enjoy a similar experience without the drawbacks.

Onions contain sulfur (including the phytochemical allicin, other organosulfides, and sulfur compounds that haven’t yet been uncovered in research), which is part of what makes them nature’s antibiotic (especially when eaten raw). The sulfur in onions makes them wonderful for alleviating joint pain, degeneration, discomfort, and for repairing tendons and connective tissue.

Red cabbage contains illness-fighting pigments. The sulfur in cabbage carries the phytochemicals from these pigments into the liver with great ease, making red cabbage one of the most rejuvenating foods for the liver.

Crispy Spring Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chopped scallions
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
• 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
• 2 cups chopped mushrooms (optional)
• 1 cup finely chopped broccoli (optional)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup finely chopped red or green cabbage
• 1 tsp sea salt or 2 tbsp coconut aminos, more to taste
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 14-16 brown rice papers

Directions:

Place a large non-stick ceramic pan on medium-high heat. Add the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes or until the scallions are soft. Add a bit of water to prevent sticking.

If using mushrooms, add them to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, until soft. Add the remaining vegetables, sea salt or coconut aminos, and lime juice to the pan and cook until the vegetables are soft, stirring often, for about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Soak a rice paper (one at a time) in water until pliable, then place on cutting board or clean countertop. Add about 2 tablespoons of filling just below the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides inward, then roll up tightly. Repeat until all of the filling is used.

Place the spring rolls in an air-fryer. Make sure that there’s space between the rolls so that they don’t stick together. Cook for 8-13 minutes at 400F/200C, until browned and crispy. 

Serve immediately to retain crispiness.
