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.

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.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
