(NC) - Bring some Asian flare to your table with these easy to prepare spring rolls. The Ontario Greenhouse pepper filling gives the great colour and tanginess these rolls deserve. They can be prepared several hours ahead or one day prior and fried right before serving. The dip is open to experimentation. Try a simple soya sauce or light plum sauce.
Ingredients:
- 20 sheets of spring roll wrappers
- 2 Ontario Greenhouse red peppers
- 2 Ontario Greenhouse yellow peppers
- 2 green peppers
- 1 Napa cabbage
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ginger (fresh minced or ground)
- 3 sprigs of fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying, such as sesame oil
Dip:
- 6 oz soya sauce

Directions:
Julienne the Ontario Greenhouse peppers, green peppers and cabbage into small strips.
