These delicious, mouthwatering spring rolls are filled with chopped and shredded vegetables, garlic, and ginger. The ingredients are fat-free, and with the help of an air fryer, you can cook them without oil. Fried foods, like traditional spring rolls, are hard on the liver and problematic for anyone looking to heal a chronic illness or symptom. This recipe allows you to enjoy a similar experience without the drawbacks of fried food.
Onions contain sulfur (including the phytochemical allicin, other organosulfides, and sulfur compounds that have yet to be discovered by scientific research), which is part of what makes them a natural antibiotic (especially when consumed raw). The sulfur in onions makes them great for relieving joint pain, degeneration, discomfort, and for repairing tendons and connective tissue.
Red cabbage contains disease-fighting pigments. The sulfur in cabbage transports the phytochemicals from these pigments to the liver with great ease, making red cabbage one of the most rejuvenating foods for the liver.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp chopped green onion;
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed;
- 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger;
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional);
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms (optional);
- 1 cup finely chopped broccoli (optional);
- 1 tsp grated carrots;
- 1 cup finely chopped red or white cabbage;
- 1 tsp sea salt or 2 tbsp coconut aminos, more to taste;
- 1 tbsp. lime juice;
- 14-16 rice husks.
Method of preparation:
Place a large non-stick ceramic skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until the onion is tender. Add a little water to prevent sticking.
If using mushrooms, add them to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the remaining vegetables, sea salt or coconut aminos, and lime juice to the pan and cook until the vegetables are softened, stirring frequently, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Soak rice paper (one at a time) in water until pliable, then place on a cutting board or clean counter. Add about 2 tbsp. of the filling just below the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly into a roll. Repeat until all the filling is used.
Place the spring rolls in the air fryer. Make sure there is space between the rolls so they don't stick together. Cook for 8-13 minutes at 200°C until browned and crispy.
Serve immediately to retain the crunch.
