Ingredients

1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
8 ounces chicken thigh meat, cut into 1x1/4-inch strips
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 ounces kumquats in syrup* (about 4), drained, thinly sliced
6 ounces mung bean sprouts
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
16 rice paper rounds** (about 1/2 package)
8 large whole iceberg lettuce leaves
1 8-ounce bottle hoisin sauce*
2 teaspoons chili-garlic paste*

Steps:

Heat sesame oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken and onion to skillet and sauté 3 minutes. Stir in kumquats. Remove from heat. Cool. Stir in bean sprouts.
Toss basil and mint in small bowl to combine. Dip 1 rice paper round into bowl of warm water until soft, about 10 seconds. Place on clean, moist kitchen towel to drain 1 minute. Repeat with another rice paper round. Place second round atop first round for double thickness. Top with a lettuce leaf, then place 1/8 of chicken-bean sprout mixture near lower edge of round. Sprinkle with 1/8 of herb mixture. Fold in sides of round, then roll up, starting near filling. Repeat with remaining rounds, lettuce leaves, chicken-bean sprout mixture, and herb mixture. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate.)
Whisk hoisin sauce and chili-garlic paste in medium bowl to blend. Slice each roll diagonally into 4 pieces, for a total of 32 pieces. Pour sauce into individual shallow bowls and place in center of each of 8 plates; surround with spring rolls and serve.

I'm allergic to chicken, so I can't make these spring rolls. :(

These spring rolls sound delicious, but they seem a bit too complicated for me to make. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I think I'll pass on this recipe for now.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like a lot of work and I'm not sure if it will be worth it. I might try it if I have some extra time on my hands.

I was a bit skeptical about using kumquats in a spring roll, but I'm so glad I tried it. They add a wonderful tartness that really balances out the other flavors.
