Home-made Spring Rolls

Spring rolls are incredibly easy to prepare - just combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 5 Tbs corn starch, salt, and 2 cups water. Rather than fry them in a lot of oil, I cooked them in a crepe pan, sprayed the surface of the crepe with olive oil, then gently fried them in a medium-hot skillet. It gives the fried taste and texture, without so much of the fat.

I used my all-purpose veggie slaw for the filling: kale, cauliflower, carrots, onion, zucchini, cabbage, red and yellow peppers, and parsley. This slaw is slightly stir-fried, then rolled up in the spring roll. Any kind of a sauce is great for dipping - a peanut sauce or sweet-n-sour.
