    Holy shit these are really good and really filling. My wife wanted spring rolls for lunch this week so I was happy to meal prep 19 of them. Recipe for 10 (double this for all 19/20):

    10 eleven inch rice wrappers

    1/2 box (4 oz) thin rice noodles (maifun)

    1 large carrot (5 oz)

    1/2 cucumber (3 oz)

    1 package imitation crab (8 oz)

    1 bag raw shrimp (10 oz)

    1/2 head of romaine lettuce (2.3 oz)

    For shrimp:

    1.5 tsp canola oil (8 grams)

    3 cloves garlic

    Pinch salt and pepper

    Pinch Cajun seasoning (or any preferred spice)

    For sauce:

    1.5 tsp brown sugar (11 grams)

    3 Tbs soy sauce

    Juice of 1/2 lime

    1.5 tsp sesame oil

    1 Tbs fish sauce

    1 Tbs siracha

    2 Tbs PB2 peanut butter powder

    Bring water to boil in wok. Briefly whisk together sauce ingredients. Shred carrot and cucumber with a cheese grater or mandolin

    Parboil rice noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse. Put wok back on heat. Stir fry rice noodles together with sauce over high heat for another minute. (Alternatively you can use sauce on the side but I love having stir fried noodles in the spring rolls since it adds so much flavor throughout)

    Toss shrimp with oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning (optional). Stir fry for 2-4 minutes until fully cooked through.

    Set up your spring roll assembly station! One at a time soak rice paper in water for 10 seconds then lay flat on cutting board. Add large leaf of romaine, then imitation crab, 2-3 shrimp depending on size*, pinch of cucumber and carrot, and then two ounces of stir fried rice noodles. Roll spring roll

    *I had large shrimp so I halved each shrimp and laid 4 halves end to end so each bite had some shrimp in it

    How on earth are you stacking them like that without them sticking to each other? Whenever I make spring rolls I have to be sure they don’t even touch on a plate next to each other, let alone a pyramid of them!
