Spring Rolls |
This is a great recipe for uncooked spring rolls. I found it on the net awhile back and have enjoyed them many times since. To put the recipe together you can find everything you need at a vientamese grocer or anywhere they have specialty foods. I hope you will enjoy them too!
Ingredients
For The Spring Rolls You will Need:
- Spring roll wrappers (round are best)
- Vietnamese/Thai Basil
- Bean Sprouts
- Mint leaves
- Corriander
- Grated carrots
- Ruby or boston lettuce
For the dipping sauce you will need:
- 2 Tbsp. Hoisin Sauce
- 1-2 tsp. Hot Chili Pepper paste (without garlic or onion)
- 1/2 juice of fresh lime
- 1 Tbsp. Chinese White Rice Vinegar
- 1-2 Tbsp Water
- 1-2 Tsp. sugar
- 1-2 Fresh garlic cloves
- Roasted peanuts chopped
Directions
To make the spring rolls, soak a spring roll wrapper in warm water until soft. Spread out on a flat surface. Layer a few lettuce leaves, grated carrot, several basil leaves, a few corriander and mint leaved, and bean sprouts. Don't overfill. Close them as you would if you were making regular eggrolls.
To make sacue, combine and blend the ingredients (except peanuts) I used Nouc Mam (fish sauce) which changes the taste. You need to experiment to find what you like.. Just before serving place the peanuts on top of the sauce and spoon over the end of the spring roll as you eat. Enjoy!
