【Let's Use the Ultimate Gluten-Free Rice Paper! ②】Chimichanga/Diet/Mexico🇲🇽/Non-Fried Spring Rolls 🤗/Shiso/Burrito/Hay Fever Relief
Hello, this is Nono (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✨
Golden Week is almost here! Many of you are probably going out for the holidays, right? 🚗³₃ I'd like to introduce a Mexican fried burrito called a "Chimichanga" that is perfect for bento boxes or eating in the car during those trips!
A Chimichanga is a "fried burrito" originating from the Southwestern United States and Mexico, made by wrapping meat, cheese, beans, rice, etc., in a flour tortilla and deep-frying it until crispy.
In my recipe, as a diet-friendly version, I make it healthy by using rice paper and pan-frying it instead of deep-frying. Since it contains both rice and side dishes in one, it's a satisfying meal that tastes great even when cold.
At a restaurant I used to work at, we served a menu item using "spring roll wrappers" instead of tortillas, filled with chili con carne and cheese, and it was a huge hit! Making them with spring roll wrappers is also easy and highly recommended.
【Ingredients】
For 6 pieces, 2 types
Rice paper: 6 sheets
Oil: as needed
Ingredients A (ingredients to mix)
Boiled soybeans: 30g
Ground meat: 30g
Diced tomatoes: 60g
Seasoning powder if available
If not, a little chili powder or garam masala
Pepper: a pinch
Brown enoki mushrooms: 30g, finely chopped
Ingredients A (to add later)
Rice (mochi-mugi mixed grain rice): 30-40g, divided into 3 portions
Sliced cheese: 1-2 slices, divided into 3 portions
Shiso leaves: 3 leaves
Ingredients B (ingredients to mix)
Lotus root: 15g, finely chopped
Salmon: 1/2 to 1 fillet, flaked
Ingredients B (to add later)
Rice (mochi-mugi mixed grain rice): 40-60g, divided into 3 portions
White sesame seeds: 1/6 tsp
Salt: a pinch
Shiso leaves: 3 leaves
I used this one this time.
Instructions
Preparation
Place the salmon in a heat-resistant dish, cover lightly with plastic wrap, microwave at 500W for 2 minutes, and flake it.
① Making the fillings
Ingredients ASauté the ground meat and brown enoki mushrooms, add the soybeans, diced tomatoes, seasoning powder (or garam masala, chili powder, herb salt, etc.), a pinch of salt, and pepper, and sauté thoroughly until all moisture is gone ＼_(･ω･`) This is important!
Ingredients B Lightly mix the salmon and lotus root.
② Fillings complete
Left: Salmon and lotus root, Right: Soybean chili con carne style
③ Quickly dip the rice paper in lukewarm water, and once it becomes slightly soft, roll it up with Ingredients A + later additions, or Ingredients B + later additions.
To roll, place the filling at the bottom, roll once, fold in both sides, and continue rolling. The amount of rice should be about the size of a slightly large piece of sushi rice. It's delicious to add more filling, but be careful, as too much filling can cause it to spill out or tear ⚠️
④ Add oil to a frying pan and, being careful not to let the rice paper stick, fry for 3-4 minutes to brown it.
Complete
For the sauce, use salsa, sweet chili sauce, ponzu soy sauce, tempura dipping sauce, etc., as you like!
This is the spring roll wrapper version. It has more thickness.
The good points of this dish
I used plenty of shiso, lotus root, mushrooms, and salmon, which are said to be good for hay fever relief.
By using gluten-free rice paper and making them non-fried spring rolls, it's a low-calorie, healthy finish.
To further boost the diet effect, baking it in a toaster or oven is a good idea👍
The Let's Use the Ultimate Gluten-Free Rice Paper! series is planned for 3 parts in total 🥰 Look forward to the next one.
Series ① and ③ are here👇
