In this Post: Everything you need for Fresh Rolls with Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs

In keeping with our “Go Ethnic!” #HealthyNewYear challenge this week, I have created a fun, no-cook party appetizer that is ideal for entertaining. Of course, I could happily eat the entire platter of these Vietnamese style fresh rolls entirely by myself but that’s beside the point.

Assembling Chicken Teriyaki Meatball Fresh Rolls

If you love ordering fresh rolls in restaurants but have never made them at home before, I urge you to give them a try. They are completely no-cook so you don’t need to break a sweat over the oven or stove. You simply put together a little assembly line of a few of your favorite fillings and get to work.

For these beauties, I got a little help from Al Fresco by using their fully cooked chicken Teriyaki Ginger meatballs. Naturally gluten free and 100% natural, the vibrant Asian flavors of ginger and sesame take these fresh rolls to the next level.

Whether you’re hosting a party or having people over to watch the big game, these rolls can be assembled up to a day ahead. Simply store with a damp paper towel on top to keep the rolls from drying out.

What are your favorite game day party appetizers? I’d love to hear from you.  No fork required.

      1. Can’t wait to make these for my next gathering. I like how they look much more difficult to make than they really are (sometimes I like to trick my guests this way ha!). Using pre-cooked meatballs is a very smart idea.
