Oh and after brunch, I came across these roses which were too pretty not to buy. How peachy!
Now onto fresh spring rolls!
I marinated some tofu in tamari, sesame oil & lemongrass. I couldn't really taste the lemongrass flavour, although it smelt divine. Any tips?
Then I chopped up some cucumber, green beans, carrots & coriander and also soaked/drained vermicelli and cut up some leftover chicken schnitzel.
I find soaking the rice papers in a pan filled with hot water works best. So that's what we did!
Making my tofu spring rolls :)
They were some yummy morsels! A great way of eating crunchy raw veggies & dipped in some soy sauce or sweet chilli sauce, they're super moreish! I think adding some crushed peanuts would have been quite excellent too.
Small & sweet strawberries were a nice treat afterwards...
Although, the real treat were these mini hazlenut cupcakes (courtesy of babycakes). Cute!
Well I'm feeling relaxed & ready for the weekend! I think it may include a trip to the markets, a stretch class, catching up with friends & probably lots of tennis watching!
Also! A little while ago, I was very kindly asked by the lovely Annette from Wellness WA (a fabulous blog you should check out, especially if you live in WA!) to write a guest post. I wrote about superfood raw fudge balls, which I whipped up for an end of year gift for my ballet teacher. It was very exciting to post a recipe on another blog & would be awesome if you checked it out :)

I love peach roses :)! They're so beautiful and delicate. ooo yummm, when Mum makes spring rolls, she also wraps the roll in a lettuce leaf - I guess it's another way to add to our daily vegie count :) These look so appetizing!
ReplyDeleteToo yummy! Everything is just better wrapped up.
ReplyDeleteI love the plate. My sister had a dinner set like that years ago.
Yum! If I weren't trying to clear my pantry before purchasing more goodies I'd get myself some rice paper for these spring rolls... oh stuff it, I have good vegies in my fridge now for filling the rolls so this is a good excuse to break my rules!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to make these all week. Its like you read my mind all the time Hannah. They look so healthy and delicious :D
ReplyDeleteYUM. Rice paper rolls are next on my to-do list. My sister has been urging me to diy them but I haven't gotten around to it. We both love your blog, by the way. :) xo
