FRESH SPRING ROLLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Make the spring rolls: Cook the ham in 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions; cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
• Toss the cabbage and carrot with the hot ham mixture in a large bowl. Add the crab, cilantro, chili-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, the soy sauce and vinegar; toss.
• Wrap the spring rolls (see right). Pierce each roll with a skewer in a few places to prevent bursting.
• Place a rack in a baking dish and brush with vegetable oil. Mix the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil; lightly brush on rolls. Place the rolls on the rack; bake until golden on top, about 15 minutes. Turn the rolls; bake until golden and crisp, 8 to 10 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve with the warm spring rolls.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, salt, and McCormick® Freeze-Dried Chives until smooth.
• Pour 1 inch of hot water into a large, shallow dish. Dip a rice paper sheet in the hot water for 5–8 seconds, until slightly softened. Transfer to a flat surface and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the center, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Place a Bibb lettuce leaf in the center of the rice paper and top with 1 ounce of smoked salmon slices, 2 tomato slices 3–5 cucumber sticks, 2-3 red onion slices, 1–2 avocado slices, and a sprinkle of McCormick® Everything Bagel All Purpose Seasoning. Fold the sides of the rice paper wrapper inward over the filling, then roll to seal. Place the roll, seam-side down, on a serving platter and cover with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out while you repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Sprinkle McCormick® Everything Bagel All Purpose Seasoning in a line down the center of each spring roll. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
