Spring Roll Bowl

I love a complete meal served in a bowl. The reason is simple. It’s easy to assemble and quick to clean after cooking. All you need to do is to divide prepared foods among serving bowls. Then, ready to serve. This Spring Roll Bowl then comes to me. Fresh and loaded with flavors of any fresh vegetable salad, it gets my family hooked. My husband, who are adopting a clean eating diet, has craving for it. It’s delicious but keeps him stick to his diet.

This spring roll bowl is filled with cooked rice noodle, chopped peanut, avocado, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, serrano pepper, basil, mint, cilantro. They are all tossed with a flavorful sweet garlic lime sauce of rice vinegar, fish sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, garlic, and brown sugar. To make it more delicious (and protein-rich), you can add in grilled shrimp, baked chicken, and fried tofu. It’s worth trying!

If you are looking for something fresh and easy to make for meal, this spring roll boll is the way to go. They’re a great choice for lunch and dinner. Sometimes, I serve it as a side dish with baked, roasted or grilled meats or seafood at weekend gathering. Both my family and guests love them. Let’s check it out!
