    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Spring Rolls

    spring roll is a rolled appetizer that is very popular in Chinese or Asian cuisine. It has a thin sheet that is stuffed with a filling. Traditionally the filling has seasonal spring vegetables.

    The stuffings may also vary from region to region. The stuffed and rolled rolls are deep fried in hot oil until golden. Fried Spring rolls are served with a variety of sauces or dips.

    They are usually a spring appetizer. They even have meat or even pork in the filling. Springs rolls are usually small rolls. Sharing a guilt-free version of spring rolls today in the air fryer.

    Ingredients

    Spring Roll Sheets - These are thin pasty sheets usually square in shape. You can buy them online or find them in the freezer section of most stores.

    Sesame oil - It gives the traditional Chinese flavor to the dish.

    Garlic - Chop the garlic finely and saute them in oil.

    Spring onion - We use both the white and green parts of the onion. These are very common in Chinese cuisine.

    Vegetables - I am using a mix of cabbage, carrots, beans, and bell pepper. You may also add green peas or even purple cabbage for a colorful filling.

    Sauce - We are using Soy sauce, Sriracha Sauce along with White Vinegar. You can also add some red chili paste if you like a firey hot filling.

    Salt and pepper - They perfectly balance the taste. The sauces have salt added and hence check and add as needed.

    Corn flour - We make a slurry with cornflour and water for sealing the rolls.

    Frozen Spring Rolls

    If you have no time or if you are looking for quick snacks frozen spring rolls come in handy. The best part is you don't have to thaw them you can cook them in the air fryer immediately once they are out of the air fryer.

    • Preheat the air fryer to 390 F (200 Deg C) for 5 min.
    • Arrange the frozen spring rolls in the air fryer basket.
    • Air fry them at 356 F (180 deg C) for 14 mins.
    • After 7 mins flip the rolls and brush with little oil and then air fry for another 7 mins.

    FAQs

    How long to cook spring rolls in air fryer?

    The cooking time may vary by 2 or 3 mins for each brand of the air fryer. 12 mins in 356 F worked perfectly for me. If your spring rolls are not crispy, air fry them for another 2 mins.

    Vegetable Spring Rolls

    How to make air fryer spring rolls

    Prepare the Springroll filling:

    1. Heat a pan with sesame oil. Once it's hot add finely chopped garlic. Saute for 30 secs and then add thinly sliced onions.

    2. Next add spring onion whites. Saute until they are soft.3. Now add all the vegetables. I am using cabbage, bell peppers, carrot, and beans. Cook for 4-5 mins in medium-high heat. so that the vegetables are lightly cooked and still have the crunch.

    5. Also add in the required Salt and pepper.

    6. Toss everything together and cook for another 1 min. Garnish with the green spring onion and switch off. The Spring Roll filling is now ready. Let the stuffing cool down a bit.

    Prepare the Corn Flour Slurry

    1.In a bowl add the cornflour along with the water. Combine everything without lumps. Keep it ready.

    Stuff and Roll the spring rolls :

    1. Thaw and keep the spring roll sheet at room temperature and keep them ready. Take 1 spring roll sheet at a time. Spoon in 1 tbsp of the filling in a corner as shown in the pic

    2. Fold and roll the sheet.

    3. Tuck in two sides of the sheet and bring them like pockets.

    4. Apply the cornflour paste to the open edges of the spring rolls.

    Tips & Variations

    • Never overcrowd the air fryer. Always arrange the spring rolls one by one on the sides for crispy spring rolls.
    • The cooking time may vary by 2 or 3 mins for each brand of the air fryer. 12 mins in 356 F worked perfectly for me. If your spring rolls are not crispy, air fry them for another 2 mins.

    How to store

    You can prepare the filling store them in the fridge for 5 days and then wrap them in the sheets as needed.

    I do not recommend rolling the spring rolls and then putting them to use later. Even a small amount of moisture makes the spring roll sheets soggy and makes them unsuitable for cooking.

    Instead, you can roll the cooked spring rolls in individual paper towels and store them in zip locks. You can reheat them in an air fryer or microwave and serve them fresh as you like.

    The carrot is one wonder vegetable. Though it's a vegetable it has a sweet taste. I cook a variety of desserts with carrots. Carrot milkshake is creamy naturally sweet and rich and a must try for this summer.

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Carrot Milk

    Rich creamy tasty and vibrant colored milk are kids favorite drinks during the summer. Its our choice to make them healthy or to load them with sugars. Carrot milkshake is the perfect choice for a healthy milkshake. Carrot has natural sugars and is the best match for kids and toddlers too.

    It is creamy and refreshing on a hot sunny day. It is easy to whip up and perfect for the summer without having to spend too much time in the kitchen.

    Prep Work

    We can either grate and saute the carrots or steam the carrots and then use them for preparing the milkshakes. If you have a food processor you can use them and grate the carrots or just chop them into cubes and steam.

    When the carrots are ready preparing the milkshake is a breeze.

    Ingredients

    Carrot - Use any fresh carrots for the milkshake. You can either steam or boil the carrots and use them. Else you can grate and saute the carrots and use.

    arugula strawberry salad is one such and would surely go on repeat mode easily.

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Strawberry rocket salad

    strawberry rocket salad is one of the perfect summer salads. I am using most of the fresh summer produce for the salad with a yummy homemade vinaigrette. It is colorful, flavorful, and has a mix of sweet and peppery flavors.

    The salad is easily vegan and gluten-free as well.

    Ingredients

    Arugula - Use fresh moisture-free rocket leaves for the salad.

    Strawberry - Use seasonal fresh sweet strawberries.

    Pink radish - They are perfect for salads and they go very well with strawberries.

    Nuts - Gives a lovely crunch to the salad and hence I would love to add.

    Microgreens - For a healthy touch to the salads.

    THE DRESSING

    Olive oil - It's distinct and gives a perfect blend to the salad.

    Maple syrup - gives a lovely pop and twist to the flavor and you may also replace maple syrup with honey.

    Lemon juice - Fresh lemon juice is a must for the citrus punch in the vinaigrette.

    Black pepper powder, Garlic, and Onion Powder - Give a balance in taste to the vinaigrette.

    Salt - Adjust and add as per taste.

    How to make Arugula Strawberry Salad

    1. In a mixing bowl add ½ tsp of garlic powder, ¼ tsp of onion powder, and ¼ tsp of garlic powder. Also, add in the required salt and then add in 1 tbsp of vinegar, 1 tbsp of olive oil, and 1 tbsp of Maple syrup. Combine everything until mixed and set aside.

    2. In a serving tray add the clean rocket leaves.

    3. Top them with sliced strawberry and red radish.

    4. Garnish with slivered almonds, pistachios, and microgreens. Finally, add in the prepared dressing. Mix everything and serve immediately.

    Tips & Variations

    • Always mix the dressing with the salad just before serving. The vinaigrette has citrus ingredients and hence it is not wise to keep them waiting.
    • Always use clean and dry moisture free rocket leaves for the salad. This helps in keeping the salad fresh and delicious.

    Serving Suggestions

    Salad goes well with some warm soup or with some garlic bread and pizza. You can also serve them as a side with some grilled protein like Tandoori Chicken or Paneer cauliflower patties.

    Fresh fruits - I am using strawberry, blueberry, grapes, Guava, Papaya, Apple, and banana. You can also include mangoes, pomegranate, kiwi, or any favorite fresh fruits.

    Cream - Whipping cream, Heavy Cream, or even fresh cream works well for the recipe. We whip the cream until soft peaks and mix the fruits.

    Honey - You can use powdered sugar or even Maple syrup too. The fruits are already sweet and hence this dessert needs a small quantity of sweetener. No harm in skipping this as well.

    Nuts - Adds lovely bite among the fruits. It is totally optional but recommends adding them. I am using almonds, pistachios, and pecans. You can use any other nuts or seeds. Slip them and use or use slivered nut.

    Definitely yes, Use vegan cream and whip them to soft peaks. Other than cream all the ingredients are vegan.
    What all fruits can I use in fruit cream salad?
    You can use a variety of mixed fruits. I always prefer the fresh and seasonal fruits in the dish.
    The best choice for fruits in cream is pomegranate, apple, banana, mango, sapota, papaya, guava, and kiwi. You can also use berries like strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry.
    Plum, Cherry, and peaches work well true. If you have tender coconut flesh you can also chop them into small pieces and add it.
    You can add any fruits other than citrus fruits. They might react with the cream and curdle at times or reacts in different ways. Hence they are not advisable.

    • You can keep the fruits refrigerated and then add to the cream as and when needed and serve.
    • Instead of honey, you can also add maple syrup, condensed milk, or even powdered sugar.
    • You can also add vanilla extract or rose water for flavor.
    • You can also add in some chocolate chips if you prefer.
    • Fruit cream ice cream is another best variation.
    • For a healthy fruit cream recipe, you may use greek yogurt in place of cream.
    • For a low fat version of the fruit cream recipe with whipped cream, you may use fresh cream with less fat. It may be less creamy but taste-wise there is not much difference.
    • Few of the best fruit cream toppings are fruits, sprinkles, nuts, chocolate chips jelly, or even candies.

    Serving suggestions

    Goes well when served with ice cream or by itself as a dessert. If serving for the party you can serve them in shot glasses with alternate layers or cakes and jelly.

    Makes a perfect after-meal dessert.Perfect for pot lucks or kitty parties as well.

    Storing Options

    Keeps good in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can store them in an air-tight container. Do not recommend freezing as the cream has dairy. However, you can freeze the cut fruits and them thaw and add them to the cream while preparing.

    Rocket Salad

    Fresh Tomato Rocket Salad with a flavorful vinaigrette makes an amazing lunch or dinner. Toasted peanuts added gives a perfect crunch to the salad. It goes well in salads, pastas or even risottos.

    Rocket leaves are rich in Vitamin C, A and K. It is good for building immunity and also a natural anti-oxidant.

    Ingredients

    Arugula - Use fresh moisture-free rocket leaves for the salad.

    Cherry tomato - I am using a mix of red and yellow cherry tomatoes. You can use them whole or slice and use them.

    Cucumber - Adding some fresh baby cucumber. They are perfect for the summer.

    Onion - Onions give a balance in taste. Use red or white onions.

    Peanuts - Peanuts give crunch to the salad and hence I suggest adding them. You can also more nuts or add pine nuts in place of peanuts.

    The dressing

    Olive oil - It's distinct and gives a perfect blend to the salad.

    Maple syrup - gives a lovely pop and twist to the flavor and you may also replace maple syrup with honey.

    Lemon juice - Fresh lemon juice is a must for the citrus punch in the vinaigrette.

    Black pepper powder and Salt - Give a balance in taste to the vinaigrette. You can also add in some garlic powder for more flavor.

    FAQ's

    Can I make the salad ahead of time?
    I suggest making the dressing up to 5 days in advance and store in the refrigerator. Before serving you may add the ingredients and toss with the vinaigrette and serve immediately.
