Spring/Rice rolls- Simple, filling, endless varieties...for your next dinner party!
-Carrots
-Lettuce
-Red, Green, Yellow, & Orange Peppers
-Green Onions
-Spicy Sprouts (Broccoli, radish sprouts)
-rice sticks
-spring roll wraps
-Cilantro

**Note: you can use pretty much any type of vegetable, you can add seafood, or cooked meat as well.

Sauce:

-soy sauce (low sodium)
-sweet n sour sauce
-spicy chili sauce
-sesame seeds
To make the spring rolls:

Cut up all vegetables julienne style. Cook the rice sticks in boiled water for a few minutes (literally took 3-4 minutes, it just depends, you want it soft but not too soft). Dip the spring roll wraps a couple times in warm/hot water, lay on cutting board. Put whatever combination of vegetables (or seafood/meat if you have it) in the center, along with cooked rice sticks and spicy sprouts. Wrap the roll and diagonally cut the roll (I don't know how to describe the rolling technique-it's very similar to a burrito roll) The best way is to cut the roll diagonally, it's better for presentation.
To make the dipping sauce:

Take the serving bowl, fill half with soy sauce, half with sweet n sour. Mix in spicy chilli sauce to taste (it depends on the person's taste and how spicy you want the sauce) Add sesame seeds to the mix.


Ziba's Quick Healthy Stir-Fry for 2 (Double or Triple up for more people!)

1 tablespoon of EVOO
PAM
1/2 cup of shred carrots
1/4 cup of scallions, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/4 of vidalia onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 sugar snap peas or peas
2 celery stalks, finely chopped or 1/2 of bean sprouts
12-16 ounces of chicken breast, pounded (you can also use tofu, tenderloin or go meatless!)
1/2 cup of water for cooking chicken
1 satchel of Trader Joes's frozen brown rice, defrosted (2 servings)
1 egg white, 1 whole egg
Chinese 5 Spice- (flavor secret weapon)
Crushed Red Pepper or Powder if you like SPICE!

Add first 7 ingredients to a large skillet on medium heat evenly coated with EVOO. Using spatula, keep turning veggies over until evenly browned (about 8 minutes), slightly roasted. If you like spice, this is the perfect time to add crushed red pepper or powder to taste. Meanwhile, in another pan, add chicken to PAM coated pan, and put on medium heat. Add about 1/4 of water to pan to keep chicken moist, flip accordingly for 5 minutes or until water evaporates, add another 1/4 cup and continue cooking and flipping chicken until water evaporates again. Remove from heat, set aside. To the veggie skillet, add defrosted brown rice and stir for 2 minutes, add egg white and egg and stir for another 2 minutes. Add Chinese 5 Spice to taste (this IS the SECRET ingredient) :). Finally, slice cooked chicken (or other protein) add to veggie/rice skillet and give one last stir and serve approximately 25 minutes later! Serving will be HUGE, rough calorie count.......400 calories per serving.

Happy food choreographing!
