Ingredients

  • 3 leaves kale
  • 1 cucumber
  • 3 green onion green part
  • 2 cups chopped cilantro
  • 12 22 cm / 9” spring roll wrappers
  • 1/3 cup homemade hoisin sauce

Instructions

  • Chop kale into small pieces. Peel cucumber and cut it into thin long strips (about 6 centimeters / 2.5 inches in length). Cut green green onion into long sticks, the same length as the cucumber.
  • Add water to a large skillet (big enough to fit a spring roll wrapper). Rinse a cutting board. Place all the veggies and spring roll wrappers nearby.
  • Work on spring roll wrappers one at a time. Dip one wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds (it should still hold its shape without turning soft).
  • Spread the wrapper on the cutting board. On the lower third of the wrapper, add 2 to 3 strips cucumber, a few chunks of kale, about 2 tablespoons cilantro, and one strip green onion.
  • Fold the bottom side of the wrapper up to cover all the ingredients. Tuck the both sides of the wrapper to seal the ingredients in.
  • Roll the ingredients towards the upper end, until they form a roll. Place the roll on a plate.
  • Serve the rolls with homemade hoisin sauce as an appetizer.
