Yield Makes 12 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small fresh red chili pepper, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon cooking wine
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 pound skinless chicken breast sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large apple peeled, cored, and cut into thin strips
4 green onions, green part only, cut into short, thin slivers
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
12 8-inch round dried rice-paper wrappers
1 head Boston or Bibb lettuce, leaves separated and washed
Sweet-and-Sour Chili Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine chili pepper, garlic, ginger, wine, orange juice, and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
  • In a small pan, heat canola oil and saute chicken until light brown outside and no longer pink inside, about 2 minutes. Combine apple, green onions, bell pepper, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Mix in cooked chicken.
  • Fill a medium bowl with warm water. Dip one of the wrappers in the water for 15 seconds, or until softened. Carefully transfer it to a dry work surface. Arrange 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling in an even horizontal mound just below the center of the wrapper. Roll up the rice paper to form a tight cylinder, folding in the sides about halfway. Assemble the remaining spring rolls the same way.
  • Coat the large baking sheet with cooking oil. Arrange spring rolls in a single layer, leaving a little space between them. Brush rolls with oil. Broil the rolls until lightly browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes; check frequently to avoid burning. Use a spatula to turn the rolls over and continue to broil another 8 to 10 minutes. Serve each roll wrapped in lettuce leaf, with Sweet and Sour Chili Sauce.

These spring rolls are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after I make a roasted chicken, and these spring rolls are the perfect way to use it up.
