Sprouted Flavorful Spring Rolls

Good evening!

I finally didn’t eat candy. Because times have changed. There is no candy in sale.
But I found my favorite nature’s candy: clementines!
It it this time of the year: big boxes of juicy clementines at 99 cents. I usually finish the whole box in 4-5 days!

Coming home from the grocery store, I made dinner (part of): delicious spring rolls. With a photo tutorial :).

First, prepare all your ingredients.

Lay a damp clean kitchen towel on your counter/table and fill a bowl with warm water.
Dip a rice paper in the water for 5 seconds and place it on the damp towel.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

And place other ingredients in the middle of the rice paper.

Fold the top and bottom of the rice paper.

Fold one side and roll.

Until you have a nice looking spring roll!

Serve with your favorite dip :-).

Repeat until you are out of ingredients. Serve with your favorite dip.

Makes 16 spring rolls

And if you don’t have any tasty dip, don’t worry.
You can always do this:

It is basically the same as peanut butter sauce, without making any sauce ;-). Yummy.
