It is reaching up over 100 degrees today in Phoenix, so I am not wanting to eat something hot for lunch. In the summer I would much rather just eat watermelon all day everyday but I love food way too much to do that. This recipe is an inspiration from my younger sister, she makes a version of these for her family. The beauty of this recipe is that once you get your technique down on rolling them up you can fill them with anything! You will quickly become a Rice Roll master, you are only limited by your imagination. I am thinking about putting fruit in them next time. You could even make a desert one with Berry's and mint or something fun! The rice paper can be found at most normal grocery stores, if your does not have them go to Whole Foods they will have them for sure!
Ingredients
Rice Paper Rolls
1 Avocado
1 cucumber
1 block of tofu - any kind you like
1 carrot
3 green onions
(any other stuff you may want to put in)
Directions
- in a pan big enough to put the rice paper sheets in put about 1 inch of water and bring to a boil
- prep all your fillings so they are cut log and thin
- when the water comes to a boil place one rice paper sheet in until it turns soft, I flipped them over I would say 45 seconds per side.
- remove from the water and lay flat on a plate, let it cool for a second
- then place your fillings in the center and wrap up like a burrito
- let cool and keep this process up until you have made as many as you want
- dip in soy sauce or dressing or whatever you want!
Does anyone have any other great ideas for rice paper wraps ?
