Baked Spring Rolls
I love Spring Rolls but I hate deep frying! These are just as tasty as fried and definitely much lower in fat, although I don't think they would qualify as a really low fat recipe. Spring roll wrappers can be found in the freezer or refrigerator at any good Chinese or Vietnamese grocery store.

- Fry the meat until just done with the ginger, salt and sesame oil.

- Drain off any excess fat (but don't wash the pan) and saute the shredded cabbage and carrots with a couple tablespoons of water, until just limp and the water is gone.
- Mix with the meat.
- Brush each spring roll wrapper with oil, turn over, and put a little- one twentieth to be precise- of the filling in a tube shape diagonally across one quadrant of the wrapper.
- Fold in the side corners, then roll up to make a neat tube.
- Repeat 19 more times.
- Lay the finished spring rolls on a lightly oiled cookie tray.
- Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.
