Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 pieces rice paper wrappers
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 small cucumber
- 0.5 cup red cabbage
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 0.5 cup mint leaves
- 1 medium lime
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and marinate them in 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sriracha for 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and sauté the marinated chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. Allow them to cool.
Julienne the red bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, and red cabbage. Keep them aside.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut it into thin slices.
Prepare a clean, flat surface and a large bowl of warm water to soften the rice paper wrappers.
Dip each rice paper wrapper into the warm water for 15-20 seconds or until soft. Lay it flat on the clean surface.
Place a small amount of chicken, bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, red cabbage, avocado, cilantro, and mint leaves on the bottom third of the softened rice paper.
Fold the sides over the filling and then roll it up tightly from bottom to top. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
Combine the juice of one lime with the remaining 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water to make a dipping sauce.
Serve the spring rolls fresh with the prepared dipping sauce.
