Spring Rolls?

Hubs found me some gluten-free spring roll wrap things. I think you make a Chinese food in them.

Since I don't like Chinese food, I was wondering what I can do with them. I've never had one so I don't know how they taste. I also don't know how to cook them or if you eat them right out of the package.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

What is it you don't like about chinese food? spring rolls are rice paper wrapped around veggies (and sometimes rice noodles). so, it's rice and veggies.... you can dip it in any variety of sauces...

Or you can make a chopped filling for them including things like shrimp, roll them up and shallow pan saute them for a crisp hot version. It helps with the rolling if you place them on a square of parchment paper and roll with that because they can be a big fragile. (You have to dip them in very hot water to soften first.)

I don't care for the whole sweet and sour thing. Yup, I lump all chinese food into sweet and sour, lol. I know that is a mistake so maybe I will venture into the dark side :ph34r:

You do not need to make them Chinese. Many (including myself) prefer spring rolls in the Vietnamese, Malaysian or Thai way. You need not make a sweet and sour sauce at all - there are thousands upon thousands of other sauces. As mentioned above, you can add all sorts of things by adding any proteins/fillings you want from shrimp to chicken to pork to beef to vegetarian. You can make a coconut peanut sauce or a Thai hot and spicy sauce.

That's the last thing I think of when I think Chinese, because it is such a hump getting over the soy sauce :rolleyes: And the chilis with Thai food. And the legumes and nightshades with mediterranean. Just as well my family was British and my taste for more exotic developed (to the extent it did) later.

You can really wrap anything you want in them:

Left over salad & dip in dressing

Steak and grilled peppers or even mashed potatoes or cheese

Chicken and dip in BBQ sauce

Cream cheese and strawberries dip in vanilla yogurt

No, I've just read people say they've used those rice paper rolls to make baklava.

Always a good idea! :lol:

I have had great success in the past with converting The Pioneer Woman's recipes. I would just use Open Original Shared Link and use the paper for it. I would of course butter between every layer, not every other. I would also use a round pan for ease. Now that the idea is in my head I have the inkling to go buy a bag of nuts and do this.

True, I tend to do the vietnamese style. So, it's the rice paper, shredded lettuce (or cabbage), Julienne carrots (and/or bell beppers), chicken or shrimp, rice noodles (cold), wrapped up. I like to dip them in peanut sauce, myself.

Now for the big question: Do you moiston the rice paper or not before you butter it?

I would wet them. Since phyllo dough is wet, I would assume we would need wet wrappers. Although, I think I would butter them, then wet them. Cause it would be easier.

Do you get them wet no matter what you put in?

Do you always fry them? Can you eat them raw? Baked?

We use them like this - boys love them with all sorts of leftovers thrown in - I usually just put meat with my basil or cilantro "pesto". I haven't had rice since March, but rice is the first grain ill be testing in the coming months - I'm getting excited planning already!

How do you prepare the rice paper? Do you cook it? Does it stay rolled up if you want to bring it for lunch? Could I freeze ones with freezable insides and thaw at a later date?

I dip them in a bowl of hot water - then put on paper towel - add stuffing - then roll - we have taken them in back pack for picnic lunch - never frozen them, but have made them the night before and kept in frig.

Are they easy to find in stores?

My Hubs found them in our local grocery store (Krogers). I had never seen them before.

Previously I had talked to the management about gluten free foods. Told them about keeping gluten-free flours above the other stuff, etc. I had also asked them to start stocking more gluten free stuff, not just pre-packaged stuff and cookies. They have done quite well at adding new items as time goes by.

I heard that you can do this too :P

 

I was thinking that rice paper might work as a replacement for phyllo

Reading this thread had me craving spring rolls (a pre gluten-free favo of mine) but sadly I couldn't find gluten-free papers at my grocery :( I wonder if the health food store would have them....

If  you have an oriental store nearby, they'll have rice paper (and noodles) in an assortment of sizes.  Some people don't like to purchase from oriental stores, but I've had no problems and I've found that the prices are significantly better than mainstream grocery stores.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
