Did you read the San Choy Bow (Lettuce Cups with Pork filling) recipe
from our blog? I cooked extra filling when making the San Choy Bow and used the filling to make this
popular hawker food of Vietnam Rice Paper Rolls - so easy, delicious and healthy.
Ingredients:
10 Rice Paper Wraps
1.5 cups San Choy Bow Filling , cold - please check our blog for the recipe
50g Rice Vermicelli Noodles - soak in hot water 10 minutes, drain.
1 cup Carrot - cut into fine strips - soak in ice water 10 minutes, drain
2/3 cup Cucumber - cut into fine strips
Fresh Coriander, if necessary
Method:
Soak a single rice paper wrap in the warm water 10 seconds.
Dry on a
clean tea towel.
Place on a plate/chopping board.
Place the pork
filling, rice vermicelli, cucumber, carrot and coriander in the
centre of the rice paper - do not overfill.
Roll up and cover with
cling wrap if not eating immediately.
Only soak the rice paper wrap for 10-15 seconds, and begin the rolls as soon as possible.
Serve cold with the dipping sauce
Dipping Sauce:
1 teaspoon Chilli, chopped finely
2 tablespoons Peanuts, chopped finely
Coriander, Mint or Thai Basil - chopped finely
1 tablespoon Sweet Chilli Sauce
1 tablespoon Thai/Vietnam Fish Stock
2 tablespoons Apple Sauce
1 teaspoon Lime/Lemon Juice
Some drops Sesame Oil
Ground Pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate
Can you serve these hot if you steam them?
ReplyDeleteIf you leave the cucumber strips out of the recipe there is no reason why the Rice Paper Rolls cannot be served hot. If you wish to steam them place them on baking paper and place in the steamer for about 5 minutes. You can also pan fry them in a little oil till they are golden brown. Whichever method of heating you choose be sure to keep the rolls separate as they will tend to stick together when cooked.
