Instructions
Summer Rolls
- Prepare all the fillings first. Cut vegetables and herbs, soak noodles according to package instructions.
- In a large shallow pan or bowl, add cold water. Take one rice wrapper and place into the pan. Let it sit until it's pliable and soft, about 3-5 seconds (it will soften more once you're ready to roll it).
- In one corner, add the fillings. Keep the edges clean. Try to add all in a clean, same way-pile so it's easier to get a pretty roll. Add a drizzle of lime juice.
- Roll like a burrito: take the sides into the center and roll the roll away from you into one tight burrito. Repeat with the other rolls.
Peanut Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix water and peanut butter. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, then add in the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for a minute while you stir it into a smooth sauce (with peanut chunks of course).
Notes
Best eaten immediately. Wrap each roll in plastic wrapper and they can last two days in the fridge. Peanut sauce can keep in the fridge for a week, or frozen for a few months.
