I took the original recipe and tweaked it just a bit. I love the fresh Asian flavors of this recipe, all rolled up in a healthy rice-paper roll. If you haven't used rice paper rounds before, don't let them intimidate you, they're actually quite easy to use.
Oh, and the bonus: use gluten-free soy sauce and this recipe is easily made gluten free!
Sesame Ginger Quinoa Summer Rolls
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped shallot or red onion
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
8 - 10 inch rice paper rounds
Cook the quinoa and water according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, chop the spinach, cilantro, shallot/red onion and combine in a medium bowl. Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and ginger, and toss well to combine.
Add the cooked quinoa to the sesame ginger mixture, stir well and let cool slightly.
Pour about 1 inch of hot water into a pie pan. Gently submerge one rice paper. Allow it to become slightly soft (takes only about 5 seconds).
Place the rice paper round on a large plate. Place about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of the quinoa mixture to one side of the round. Gently roll up the roll like a burrito, first folding in the sides and then rolling up the middle, much like you would a sleeping bag.
Place seam side down on a plate, and cover with a barely damp paper towel. Repeat with the other rolls (if you have leftover quinoa, it makes a lovely side salad!).
Once ready to serve, slice each roll in half and enjoy! Even R and G gobbled up these rolls, which floored me.
Serves 4 as a side or light meal.
Life is sweet,
SPC

My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
