Healthy Spring Rolls

My boys actually ate these!



1 package spring roll pastry
1/2 lbs low fat beef mince (or turkey) (I used reg hamburger and threw it in the blender, worked great)
1 packet rainbow salad mix or make your own using broccoli stems, carrot and beetroot strips
1 tsp Chinese five spice powder (I couldn't find this so I used a package of fried rice seasoning)
3 tbs soy sauce
sweet and sour sauce

Step 1 – Remove spring roll wrappers from the freezer and allow to defrost.
Step 2 – Brown mince with fried rice seasoning, then drain fat
Step 3 – Add soy sauce and vegetables to mince and cook for a few minutes until vegetables have softened. (Add whole package, when they are soft they shrink a little)
Step 4 – Allow the mince to cool while you are separating the spring roll wrappers. It is a good idea to keep a clean moist tea towel on top of the wrappers to stop them drying out.
Step 5 – With a spring roll wrapper corner facing you, scoop a couple of tablespoons of filling across the pastry, leaving enough room for the sides to be folded in. Fold the side corners in and roll it up into a log form as tightly as you can. (I was a hot mess trying to do this, good luck!)

Step 6 – Heat a little olive oil in a non stick frying pan over medium heat and gently brown each side until golden and crunchy. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
