We both love Asian flavors and no wonder I keep trying new asian recipes at home. I am really glad that I started this blog. It gives me an opportunity to explore different cuisines and try new recipes at home trying to prepare a healthy version for guilt-free eating.

I have always wanted to make Vietnamese spring rolls at home. And, when it is time to make them at home, they have to be healthy (:P). I really loved the concept of spring rolls when I came across this delicacy. Because it can be stuffed with all good stuff and yet tasty and flavorful. Usually, for the filling, rice noodles are used. However, I used buckwheat noodles to make these rolls more healthy.

Making spring rolls is very easy. You just have to prepare the raw veggies, cook noodles, sauté the shrimps and assemble them into rice paper rolls. And, it hardly takes 30 mins to prepare them.
