“My daughter, Sara, saw Elmo make summer rolls on a Sesame Street DVD and wanted to try them. I tweaked this recipe a bit to suit her tastes. She assembled them—and loved them.” —Beth McGee, Pinckney, Michigan
In a large skillet, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups water to a boil. Add the bean sprouts, peas and carrot; cover and boil for 3-4 minutes or just until tender. Drain and immediately place vegetables in ice water. Drain and pat dry. Cook rice noodles according to package directions; drain.
Soak a spring roll wrapper in cool water for 30 seconds; place on a flat surface and pat dry. Place 1 heaping tablespoonful of chicken down the center of the wrapper; top with a scant 3 tablespoons vegetable mixture. Top with noodles and cabbage.
Fold both ends over filling; fold one long side over the filling, then roll up tightly. Place seam side down on a plate. Repeat. Cover with damp paper towels until serving. Cut summer rolls in half.

I first tried spring rolls at a restaurant recently, and when I saw this recipe, I had to try it. Finding the ingredients was a challenge, but worth it! Flavor was terrific! I will have to perfect my wrapping technique, though. Made some substitutions. Used snap pea sprouts instead of bean sprouts (since store was out), and I used broccoli slaw (that had some carrot and red cabbage) instead of the sugar snap peas. Didn't want to buy a whole head of red cabbage, so I used more uncooked broccoli slaw instead of the red cabbage.
