Do you love Asian spring rolls? I love how these delicious bundles of joy can make you feel full without feeling heavy. These rolls often include one protein (tofu, steak, chicken, pate, or shrimp), vegetables (lettuce), and vermicelli (rice noodles), and a rice wrap. To reduce the carbs from the noodles that can sometimes make me feel bloated, I replaced the vermicelli noodles with shirataki noodles; shirataki noodles are low carb noodles made from the Japanese yam konjac. You can find these noodles in any American grocery (Ralphs, Walmart, Whole Foods, etc) or Asian supermarket. If you having trouble finding them near your home, you can order them from my Amazon list.
Leaner Tip: Substitute vermicelli noodles with shirataki noodles to reduce the recipe by ~200 calories per 8 oz.

5 Ingredient Spring Roll
Ingredients
- 8 oz shirataki fettuccini
- 6 rice paper sheets (8.5″ in diameter)
- 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 1-1.5 cups chopped kale (or baby kale) – remove the thick stems
- 9 pieces of medium cooked shrimp
Instructions
- Fill a large plate (9″ in diameter) with hot water.
- Soak one rice paper sheet in the water for about 15-30 sec until it becomes soft and more translucent. And place this on a flat surface (cutting board, plate, etc).
- Repeat step 2 and place the second sheet on top of the 1st. This will prevent your roll from breaking easily with stuffing it with your ingredients.
- Line up the shirataki noodles (2 oz), kale (1/3 cup), carrots (1/3 cup), and shrimp (3 pieces) in vertical lines next to each other on the rice paper sheet. I would recommend placing these ingredients closer to the left or right side of the wrap to make it easier to roll the ingredients together.
- Gently fold the top and bottom sections of the circle so it overlaps onto the ingredients.
- Carefully roll the rice paper with the veggies, shrimp, and noodles until it looks like a cylinder shape.
- Repeat steps to create additional rolls. Enjoy!
