Summer Rolls
Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 ounce thin rice noodles
- 4 8-inch rice-paper rounds
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage and/or chopped lettuce
- 1/4 cup fresh mint
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot
- 2 sticks imitation crab sliced lengthwise or 4 pieces baked tofu optional
Instructions
- Cover noodles with hot water and soak 15 minutes, then drain well. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Fill a shallow pan or plate large enough to accommodate the rice paper round with warm water. Soak 1 rice paper in water until it just starts to become pliable, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a work surface covered in a paper towel.
- Arrange lettuce or cabbage and the rest of the ingredients on the bottom half of the rice paper round, leave a 1-inch border along the edge. Roll up rice paper tightly around filling, then fold in the sides and continue rolling. Transfer to a plate and cover and with dampened paper towels.
- Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers. Serve rolls halved on the diagonal with dipping sauce of choice. My favorites are Peanut Sauce or Thai Sweet Chili Sauce.
- Note: if you plan to serve these fresh, you can put some sauce inside the roll. If you plan to serve them the next day, remove from fridge about an hour before serving.
This came out delicious! Thanks for the recipe!!
Thanks Malki, great to know.
i work for a compnay called sushi maven, we sell rice paper , you can get them on our website http://www.sushimaven.com http://www.sushimaven.com/rice-paper-100gr-p-107.html
According to many authorities they do not need hashgacha, if you accept that you can find them in some regular supermarkets, health food stores and they are plentiful in Asian markets. To find the one with hashgacha you will need to go to a kosher market, you can see them and order them here http://www.affordablekosher.com/product_p/9051.htm
i cant seem to find rice paper rounds? which company makes them? would they be in a health food store or a kosher supermarket?
