Springrolls for Crazy4beadsz

[MustLose80]

Hey girl! I was just reading all the post for that low-carb torilla wrap post. My goodness there were a lot of good posts!
So anyway, I thought of another wrap for you. This is one of my all-time favorite snacks and in the spring and summer, I eat them for lunch and late dinners. But........you will have to use the eggwhite wrap until you get to the place where these are allowed, if these wraps are ever allowed on Atkins, as will I. If they are never allowed, i think i will be fine with the eggwhite wraps.

The original is a rice paper that you find in burrito-sized rounds in a clear container in the Asian food section of the grocery store or at an asian food market. They get dipped in cold water for about 5 seconds before using....

BUT....use the eggwhite wraps and add this....a large leaf of fresh curly leaf lettuce, or Boston Butter lettuce, about 8 fresh basil leaves, BBQ (roasted) pork loin and/or whole shrimp. Fold in the sides and roll up...just like an eggroll or burrito. The usual sauce is a mixture of Hoisin and peanuts, but I bet the ladies and gentlemen on here could think up something better. I was thinking maybe use a sugarfree nut flavored syrup, or even a salsa, or hollandaise. I am going to experiment with some heavy cream and broth base...I will let you know.

Hi Pamela,

So tell me more about these eggwhite wraps...are talking about a product you buy or are you making these yourself?

Re: Springrolls for Crazy4beadz

ohh that really sounds good, i will have to try it out! I cant seem to find out any information on egg roll wraps or rice paper (same thing?) i found a recipe also for egg rolls , sounds safe, minus the carrots. but those wraps ! lol maybe we can get an opinion from the experts here




EASY EGG ROLLS

1 bag shredded cabbage with carrots
2 cups shredded chicken or canned chicken
4 cubes chicken bouillon or instant bouillon
1/2 gallon oil for deep frying
egg roll wraps
Cook cabbage, carrots, and chicken with bouillon until boiling. Drain all liquid. Using towel or paper towels make sure mixture is dry. Fold into egg roll wraps as shown on package. Quick, easy and tastes wonderful.

Hey crazy girl!,
We definately cannot have the eggroll wraps, and I have not read the book yet on whether or not the rice papers will ever be legal, but if either are, it will be down the road a ways for us, for sure. That is why I am gonna try these with the egg white wraps. Look under "other" for the 10 carb per loaf bread thread. I am going to convert it to American and I will post it for you. That is as soon as I find out a couple of things. Either way, we will have to wait until after induction for that too. So right now, I think our only induction friendly bread-type stuff is the Mock Danish, the Revolution Rolls and those egg white wraps.
