This is the first time I have used Indian flavors to fill a Vietnamese style fresh salad roll. It will not be my last – we loved these!
I was recently asked to develop a quick recipe, using one Stonehouse 27 sauce, one Lundberg Heat and Eat Brown Rice Bowl and up to three other ingredients.
The Stonehouse 27 sauce I chose was their Tamarind & Garlic, and the Lundberg rice bowl I paired with it was the Short Grain Brown. I came up with several ideas, so I will be trying some of the other flavors as well – Dates & Tamarind and of course Spicy Cashews & Cream.
I have seen these sauces before, and several of the flavors are appealing. They are a quick alternative to scratch made while bringing all natural, gluten free and vegan flavors to a dish. I have been a long time fan of Lundberg Family Farms, and although I generally prefer making my own, I can definitely see how these rice bowls are convenient. Each bowl (marked as one serving) is a lot of rice, and when mixed with beans, goes a long way!
tamarind & garlic spring rolls
vegan, gluten free, low sodium, no refined sugar
makes 12 rolls
1 jar Stonehouse 27 Tamarind & Garlic sauce
1 bowl Lundberg Heat & Eat Brown Rice
12 round rice paper wrappers
1 cup cooked beans (I used pinto)
kale leaves
Prep ingredients for easy assembly – have a large round plate to roll on. Combine rice bowl with beans. Tear or chop kale leaves into workable pieces, removing tough ribs.
To make spring roll: dip rice paper in warm water for *5 seconds. Place on plate, line kale leaves down middle, leaving one inch on each end and 2-3 inches on each side. Layer 2 tablespoons rice and beans over kale leaves, followed by 2 tablespoons sauce. Fold the one inch ends over and press down, so the rice paper sticks to itself. Turn to one long end and begin rolling tightly, folding over and rolling completely closed.
*After 5 seconds the rice paper will still feel firm – this is normal, don’t soak longer. It continues to soften and is easy to work with if only soaked 5 seconds. Longer soaking may result in holes or tears in the rice paper.
Fresh and flavorful, and definitely a unique spin on a spring roll. The rice bowls are gluten free, vegan and convenient. These sauces are authentic in flavor and exotically spiced, and incredibly tasty.

That looks so good and actually very filling. I need to remember to use rice or another grain with springrolls. I think spaghetti squash, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, & spinach makes a great, easy meal. Almost a one pot wonder
I have a tweet scheduled for 12pm CST
I think a fast easy meal would be homemade veggie burgers that I keep on hand in the freezer with a side of baked sweet potato fries. I just reheat the patties in the oven with the fries the last 10 mins.
I tweeted
Since the lundberg short grain brown rice is my favorite, I’d likely make an indian spiced risotto and add butternut squash, no chik’n stock and onions to the risotto. I’m so glad winter squash season is here!
I liked Stonehouse 27 on facebook, but I cannot find Lundberg on there :/
My favorite quick and easy meal is taco dip:
TJ’s jalepeno refried black beans, taco seasoned quinoa, spinach, sour supreme, green onions, avocado and salsa. Since the discovery of your noocho cheese, I’m sure that will be an addition as long as I already have it made…and I plan on keeping it around!
My 5-ingredients recipe would be the sauce and rice with ground tempeh, glazed carrots, and snap peas
My favorite quick meal is eggs with a side of quinoa and green vegetables.
My favorite quick meal is tostadas–tortillas browned in the oven, refried black beans smothered on them, topped with a sauteed spiced veggie mix, salsa fresca, and chopped spinach with a side of yellow rice. Next time I make it, I’m gonna try out your noocho sauce to top it off!
Can I just copy your recipe? Does that count?
But seriously, these look GOOD. I love spring rolls–simple, healthy and they still look classy! Honestly, sauce + rice + lettuce + 2 more veggies would probably be my go-to meal with these ingredients. Ohh, or ANY of those sauces drizzled over roasted root veggies on a bed of brown rice.
And my favorite quick and easy meal is courtesy of YOU–socca! I love it with any sort of side–nutritional yeast sauce, pea hummus or a “meat”ier dish like chili, it’s great for dipping/scoopin!
Ok, I am SO not creative on the recipe side. My recipe would probably include rice, sauce, probably chow mein noodles, some kind of veg (zucchini maybe?) and tofu for some protein. YUM!
My favorite quick meal is pasta with whatever leftover veggies I have in the fridge. Easy & fast!
Holy delicious batman. I love wraps, but this takes the flavour profile up a whole notch. These look nomnom.
Well my quick dish would be steamed kale with mushrooms and garlic over jasimine rice with braggs. It is sooo good and quick.
defintiely kabocha squash, kale, quinoa, cayenne, and cilantro

OOOH…this is so my kind of recipe. I don’t think the Stonehouse sauce is available here in Canada, but I’ll take a look for something similar and give these a go. Have a wonderful Monday.
There’s too many foods i love! But everyday for breakfast during the week oatbran, banana, cocoa powder, dates & peanut butter are my absolute favorite combination!

Favorite quick meal is cereal, milk and whatever fruit is on hand. It doesn’t get any quicker.
I don’t know how this sauce tastes. The rice bowls are yummy and I would add some cilantro, lime juice and chopped shrimp.
I’m not trying to take the easy way out, but I would make exactly what you did. It looks divine!
I am always looking for easy quick dinners – these products look great! I would probably make a quick tofu stirfry!

Such a whirlwind weekend I feel like I have so much to catch up on!
As you know, I’m not a fan of pimping out products so I’ll pass on the twittering and all that.
Instead, I’ll just tell you my favorite quick meal to “prepare” is take out served on my own plates
tee hee. I do that with take out. sometimes.
hope you had an AWESOME weekend – looks like you did – you, J + D always have fun shenanigans going on. one of these days Basil and I will be joining you.
Funny, I went to a restaurant called Tamarind last wk and was wondering what tamarind was! I would add some chile peppers, chicken and kale.

My quick and easy meal when I’m strapped for time (or luxury ingredients) is tacos—I can add bean, veggies, chicken, pork-what have you
maybe beets or zucchini?
Oooh they look fricking AWESOME!!!
I would pair some crunchy raw carrot, scallion, shredded cabbage and coconut.
First things that come to mind are edamame or butter beans, pea pods, water chestnuts, maybe orange slices or papaya. Your recipe looks amazing! Thanks!
wow – your combination sounds GOOD – I’ll have to try that one!
I bought rice wraps FOREVER ago based on a rice you’d posted and they’re still sitting in my pantry. I need to get on that, for real. Ingredients: turkey. Because I’ll be eating turkey for the next 2 weeks at least.

Face easy meal9 sandwich and soup!!
Oh, that’s FAVE. sorry, autocorrect!!
So, girl you are so talented and creative with these. I love the spring roll and would want to make something similar, like a bowl (I have TRIED those rice wraps, VERY hard!!!)
I hope there’s a contest or something, because I facebook has all the other recipes. They don’t look like any effort was added. Yours should win!!
haa, thank you for your “vote”…
but there’s no contest that I know of… except that hopefully these PR firms will continue to pick ME. I am happy to hear that the time effort and care I put into these posts – that you see that.
and about the rice papers – they really are easy if you ONLY DIP FOR FIVE SECONDS!! do not soak until soft, that’s how they rip (I’m assuming that is your issue?) after five seconds they will still feel firm, but they continue to soften as you work with them… fill them and when ready to roll, they will be soft!
try it? let me know how it goes? XO
I think the rice and sauce would be great with tofu, asparagus and mushrooms!
I think the rice and sauce would be great with tofu, asparagus and mushrooms! I’m trying again because I keep getting an error when I try to submit this comment…
Hmm…so many possibilities! Looks like it would be great with tofu or tempeh and whatever vegetables are in season. I’m thinking green peas would be delish.
