Why this works

Cabbage and mushroom spring rolls are great for several reasons:

Flavorful filling:

The combination of cabbage and mushrooms creates a delicious and savory filling. Cabbage adds a slight crunch and a mild sweetness, while mushrooms provide an earthy and meaty flavor. The two ingredients complement each other well and create a satisfying taste.

Textural contrast:

The crispness of the cabbage and the tender texture of the mushrooms create a pleasant contrast in each bite. This combination of textures adds to the overall enjoyment of the spring rolls.

Versatility:

Cabbage and mushrooms are versatile ingredients that can absorb and enhance the flavors of other ingredients and seasonings. This makes them ideal for incorporating various herbs, spices, and sauces into the filling, allowing for a wide range of flavor profiles and customization options.

Health benefits:

Cabbage is low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It adds nutritional value to the spring rolls while providing a refreshing and light taste. Mushrooms are also low in calories and are a good source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. They contribute to the overall nutritional value of the spring rolls.

Dipping sauces:

Cabbage and mushroom spring rolls are often served with dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, or soy-based sauces. These sauces add additional layers of flavor and enhance the taste of the spring rolls, making them even more delicious.

Combination of flavors, textures, versatility, health benefits, and accompanying sauces all contribute to making cabbage and mushroom spring rolls a tasty and enjoyable dish.

Steps

Slice up and Juliene Mushrooms & Cabbage and give it a good saute in a pot. Put the lid on for a while to let it steam and fully cook on their own.

Season me up as you go. Maybe some soy, salt or sesame oil. Feel free to use what you have on hand. That's what's great about what we are going here, you can apply and infuse your style, your flavor.

Add some julienned carrots and celery if you have some.

Vermicelli noodles work good as well.

After sauteeing the filling wrap them up like so.

Brush with some oil so that the wrapper browns nicely and to avoid burning.

Bake or airfry for 20 minutes on 400.

How to serve

Serve on its own, dip in vinegar or sweet chili sauce. Been loving quinoa and lots of greens lately. You may also pair it up with noodles or rice.
