Yield Makes 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small fresh red chili pepper, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon cooking wine
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 pound skinless chicken breast sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large apple peeled, cored, and cut into thin strips
4 green onions, green part only, cut into short, thin slivers
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
12 8-inch round dried rice-paper wrappers
1 head Boston or Bibb lettuce, leaves separated and washed
Sweet-and-Sour Chili Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine chili pepper, garlic, ginger, wine, orange juice, and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
  • In a small pan, heat canola oil and saute chicken until light brown outside and no longer pink inside, about 2 minutes. Combine apple, green onions, bell pepper, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Mix in cooked chicken.
  • Fill a medium bowl with warm water. Dip one of the wrappers in the water for 15 seconds, or until softened. Carefully transfer it to a dry work surface. Arrange 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling in an even horizontal mound just below the center of the wrapper. Roll up the rice paper to form a tight cylinder, folding in the sides about halfway. Assemble the remaining spring rolls the same way.
  • Coat the large baking sheet with cooking oil. Arrange spring rolls in a single layer, leaving a little space between them. Brush rolls with oil. Broil the rolls until lightly browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes; check frequently to avoid burning. Use a spatula to turn the rolls over and continue to broil another 8 to 10 minutes. Serve each roll wrapped in lettuce leaf, with Sweet and Sour Chili Sauce.

I love the combination of flavors in these spring rolls. The orange sauce is sweet and tangy, the chicken is savory, and the vegetables add a nice crunch. They're the perfect appetizer or snack.

These spring rolls are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken that I needed to use up, and these spring rolls were the perfect solution. They were quick and easy to make, and they were so delicious!

I was a bit skeptical about making these spring rolls because I'm not the best at cooking. But they turned out so well! The instructions were easy to follow and the results were delicious.
