Spring Roll Bowls Are *the* Deconstructed Food Trend of Summer
What’s not to love about spring rolls? They’re so light and delicious and are loaded with good eats like seared shrimp, crunchy nuts, rainbow veggies, fresh herbs and a nutty citrus sauce. If you love spring rolls as much as we clearly do, you’re going to *heart* them even more deconstructed and served up in a bowl. It’s sort of like a rice bowl, but more noodle-icious and served cold. They’re also easier to make since you don’t have to master the rice roll rolling technique. You can just throw in a little more of the ingredients you like and have on-hand, and none of those you don’t. Better yet, there’s a spring roll bowl to fit every eating plan, from Paleo and grain-free to vegetarian to raw. Scroll on for 10 spring roll bowls that will satisfy your craving.
1. Grilled Shrimp Spring Roll Noodle Bowls: This noodle bowl has all the tasty ingredients you love in a good spring roll. Plus, the simple gluten-free sauce — tamari with a kick of chili garlic paste — is to die for. (via Simply Scratch)
2. Vietnamese Summer Roll Salad: This spring roll salad is reminiscent of a Vietnamese bun. It has all your fave comfort food elements — noodles, Asian flavors, spicy heat — all in one bowl. The kicker is the thai red-chili sauce, but if you can’t locate these peppers, a dash of Sriracha will work. (via Running With Tweezers)
