Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups peanut sauce, divided
•
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
2 teaspoons soy sauce, divided
•
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
•
2 teaspoons peanut oil, divided
•
12 ounces bean sprouts
•
6 ounces fresh snow pea pods
•
4 green onions, chopped
•
1 pound watercress, chopped
•
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
•
2 large carrots, peeled
•
12 spring roll wrappers
Directions
1
Combine 1 cup peanut sauce, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a bowl. Add chicken and mix until coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2
Heat 1 teaspoon peanut oil in a wok over medium heat. Add bean sprouts, snow peas, and green onions and cook until heated but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
3
Transfer bean sprout mixture to a large bowl; mix in watercress and cilantro. Use a vegetable peeler to peel long strips carrot into the bowl. Add remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce and toss to coat.
4
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon peanut oil in the wok over medium heat. Add marinated chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes.
5
Fill a large bowl with hot water. Submerge one wrapper in the bowl and hold until soft and pliable, about 2 seconds. Lift wrapper, let excess liquid drip off, and place onto a work surface. Place two large spoonfuls chicken and a small handful vegetable mixture into the center of the wrapper. Fold in the two sides, then fold the bottom up and over the filling; roll to seal. Repeat to make remaining spring rolls.

Serve with remaining 1/2 cup peanut sauce for dipping.
