Yesterday I did a little bit of shopping.  I ended up going to a great Asian supermarket for kabocha squash, hijiki and kombu.  The only seaweed I have really eaten is nori with sushi.  A few recipes I want to make from The Kind Diet call for hijiki and kombu.  There are some amazing produce finds at the Asian supermarkets.  Tell me, how cute are these mushrooms?!

I also couldn’t resist the rice paper. It has been so long since I made spring rolls with my mom. Which means I forgot how long you should soak them in water.  The directions were NOT in English so I just guessed.  

I ended up over soaking my rice paper.  Which means I had a few fall-outs.

Oh well, it all still went into the belly just fine.  The goods in this little beauty were: cucumber, red bell pepper, tomatoe, avocado, cutie-pie mushrooms, alphalpha sprouts, green onions, cilantro and a bit of sriracha.

Since the sweet-red chili sauce was mainly composed of sugar, I only used a small amount.  Shucks!  It was pretty tasty though. Spring rolls are so tasty!  I will be making these again, that’s for sure?

Have you experimented with rice paper at home?

What do you like in your spring rolls?
