Low-calorie, high-protein Vietnamese spring rolls (weight-loss version)


Low-calorie, high-protein Vietnamese spring rolls (weight-loss version)

Who says you can only eat grass when you're trying to lose weight? Look at my Vietnamese spring rolls, they're so eye-catching! The translucent rice wrappers are filled with purple cabbage, endive, shredded carrots, and plump shrimp. The colors are vibrant and they look amazing! The shrimp are a great source of protein, and the vegetables are full of dietary fiber. They're low in calories and filling. Dip them in the spicy and sour sauce and you'll feel incredibly satisfied with every bite. You can enjoy a weight-loss meal like this!

  4. Finely shred the purple cabbage using a dedicated raw food cutting board to prevent cross-contamination between raw and cooked ingredients. Wash the endive thoroughly and gently pat dry with kitchen paper to prevent the spring roll wrappers from becoming damp and breaking during rolling.

  5. Pour warm water into a large flat plate, soak the spring roll wrappers for 10 seconds, then quickly remove them and lay them flat on the work surface (soaking the spring roll wrappers for too long will cause them to lose their elasticity).

  6. Lay out the shredded purple cabbage, endive, shredded carrot, and shrimp in that order. Begin rolling from the side closest to the edge. When you reach about 1/3 of the way up, fold the two sides of the spring roll wrapper inwards to seal the edges, then quickly roll it tightly to form the desired shape. The entire process should be done quickly and efficiently to prevent the spring roll wrapper from sticking to the work surface and affecting the shape.
