Rice paper
An assortment of ingredients like;
- Lettuce, cabbage or coleslaw or a combo, shredded
- Carrots, sliced matchstick
- Cucumbers, sliced matchstick
- Shrimp, sliced in half lengthwise
- Hot Honey Pickled Radishes (recipe link below)
- Your favorite sauces (my favs recipe links below)
- Put hot water in a pie plate or large container.
- As it becomes manageable (still very warm), dip your rice paper in. Don’t leave it in or soak it, just a quick dip, hold up and let extra water drizzle off and then put on a cutting board or a paper plate.
- Add your choice of fillings – don’t over fill.
- Wrap the bottom over once, wrap your sides in and then finish wrapping your roll.
Funny story, we were asked to bring a dish to pass at work. Well, I thought, I will bring a dish but not to pass. I brought everything for everyone to make their own Fresh Spring Rolls. I was super excited to share a few knife skills and how easy it can be to make these versatile rolls. We didn’t have a lot of time but I squeezed in what I could. Some of my co-workers really picked it up quick. Others walked by the teaching table a couple of times before getting the nerve to try it. They learned like I have, that it’s all about trying it, it doesn’t have to look perfect, it will taste great – the looking perfect part comes with practice. We talked about different things you could put in these from sweet to savory. One of my fav variations is a southwest spring roll with black beans, a little rice and corn that I told everyone about. A friend at the table was all in and said he will make those and pair with his Corn “Riblets”. Now that sounds delicious!
Try something new today, you will be happy you did! 🙂
