    Who else loves low-carb spring rolls? A family favourite that has a multitude of filling options that everyone will love. Just scroll to the bottom of the post and see all the tasty ideas.

    Low-Carb Spring Rolls

    Cabbage leaf spring Rolls served on a blue and white plate

    Low-carb spring rolls as you can see, are actually quick and easy to make. Gone are the high carb rice papers, rice noodles and the unhealthy oils they are usually fried in, and instead I use wilted cabbage leaves.

    Low-carb spring rolls can be made as big or as small as you prefer. If you were to make smaller ones, they could be served as a starter/appetiser or as a party platter. If you make them large, they can be served as a complete family meal.

    You can easily vary the fillings, and therefore the carb content. For example, if you want to lower the carbs, omit the carrots and green beans, and add more low carb vegetables. Great vegetables are bok hoy, celery, mushrooms and spring onions. (see below for all the filling options).

    You can also vary the meat. If ground/minced chicken isn't your thing, go for beef, lamb, prawns or fish instead.

    NOTE: I occasionally make my low-carb spring rolls using rice papers for my children's lunch box. Some readers complain that this isn't strictly low carb, and I completely agree, but my reasoning is two-fold. Firstly there are between 4g - 10g carbs in a medium rice paper (depending on size and brand) AND secondly, rice papers are a great sturdy way for spring rolls to survive the journey to school in their lunch box. They will no longer be low-carb spring rolls, but are a great option for children who don't need to monitor their carbs as closely as I would.

      I made these at my previous job for something and everybody loved them. I made it vegetarian so everyone could eat it. I had many requests for the recipe. Even one from the powers that be that ran our facebook page.! Highly reccommend.

            You could use coconut aminos, they are a healthier version of soy sauce and can be found in most regular grocery stores in the health aisle. Or you can get coconut aminos from Amazon too.

      Made these again today. I didn’t have much time today for cooking so I just cut the cabbage up and made it into a savoury dish rather then rolls. Used ginger and all the same ingredients but cut the cabbage up into pieces and cooked it altogether:)

      Made these last night and they were delicious however the cabbage was really, really, hard to bite. I cut mine up with a knife. How do I get the cabbage leaves to be softer? I just wanted to pick them up to eat like a real spring roll.

        Did you soak the cabbage leaves in boiling water for long enough? You need to leave them in for a minute or so, depending on the thickness of the cabbage leaf. The outer leaves are always the most solid and sturdy, so maybe next time soak choose inner leaves and soak for longer. They are yummy so keep trying, you'll love them.

          If the cabbage is too thick, I think you could boil the leaves on the stove for just a couple of minutes

      Just wondering what sauces to use in this recipe ?

        No sauces are necessary 1) flavours and juices come from the oil and the chicken as they are cooked wiht the onion nd garlic 2) most sauces are high sugar. If you are missing a sauce (and sauces can make a dish) then why not try coconut aminos which is a healthy alternative to soy sauce. Or you could make a dipping sauce using coconut cream and Chinese 5 spice and a pinch of salt.

      My spring rolls benefit from a splash of syrup on the outside and stay in the oven until the cabbage leaves are slightly browned and just turning crunchy. Now that I'm doing LCHF how to prepare a syrup substitute using erythritol?
