Steamed Spring Rolls
Thanks to a rice paper wrapper and a bath in hot steam, the Asian rolls are extremely low in fat and calories. Therefore, they can be taken several times even if you have weight or bile problems.
Thai basil tastes significantly different from the basil grown in this country. Delicious alternative: fresh coriander.
