Rice Paper Rolls

Jan 24, 2010 by glutenshmooten

Week 10 of the Cookbook Challenge and the theme is Cool. I happened to be in an Asian grocery when thinking of inspiration and decided on rice paper rolls. I went with a recipe from a Marie Claire cookbook called Cooking, which is actually written by Donna Hay.

Ingredients

12 rice paper sheets

1 cup snow pea sprouts (I’m not sure what this is, I just used bean sprouts!)

1/2 cup shredded carrot

1/2 cup shredded raw beetroot

125g enoki mushrooms (find these at most Asian grocers)

1/4 cup mint leaves

1/4 cup Thai basil leaves

Dipping sauce:

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons chilli sauce

2 teaspoons brown sugar

Soak rice paper sheets a few at a time in warm water until they are soft (mine took about 30 seconds each). Place a small pile of sprouts, carrot, beetroot, mushrooms, mint and basil on each rice paper. Fold and roll to enclose

To make dipping sauce, combine lime juice, chilli sauce and sugar.
