Spring Rolls with Stir Fried Mushrooms and Dandelion Greens

This is the second meal I’ve created around the Stir Fried Mushrooms with Garlic and Ginger. I used them first in this comforting Brown Rice Mushroom Congee with Sardines and then got the urge to use them in something a little more raw and fresh.

Brown Rice Mushroom Congee with Sardines

Because I recently had some pho on the weekend, Vietnamese food was on my mind. When I passed by some dandelion leaves in the grocery store, I snatched them up.

I really like how they have more flavor than lettuce but aren’t as hard to digest as spinach and kale. Apparently, they’re packed with nutrients too, which is why they’re often included in Pho, aka the best hangover cure ever. Along with the dandelion leaves, I used Stir Fried Mushrooms, cucumber matchsticks, and cilantro in these wraps.

I tried out some brown rice spring roll wrappers and I think I like them even better than regular ones. The dipping sauce is a typical Vietnamese mix of fish sauce, coconut sugar, vinegar, crushed garlic, and Thai red chilies.

I made the mushrooms the night before and then just quickly rolled everything together when I got home for lunch. I didn’t even wait to wrap all of them before digging in. I just kept rolling one, stuffing it in my face, and then rolling another.
