Oven Fried Spring Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons grated peeled gingerroot
• 1/2 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and julienned
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and julienned
• 1 cup trimmed snow peas, julienned
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 4 (7-inch) square egg roll wrappers
• 4 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
• 4 teaspoons hot Chinese mustard, optional

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a nonstick cooking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, or line with parchment.
2. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, and salt. Add the carrot, bell peppers, snow peas, and bean sprouts: toss to coat. Place the egg roll wrappers on a clean dry work surface. Divide the mixture evenly among the wrappers; fold in the ends and roll up jellyroll fashion. Brush each spring roll with 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil and place on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake until the spring rolls are crisp on the bottoms; about 7 minutes; turn and bake until crisp all over, about 5 minutes.
4. Serve with mustard if desired.
