These fresh rolls are so yummy and delicious. There are also a great light, yet hardy meal to have during the hot summer nights. You. can do no wrong with your fresh roll combinations. Listen to what vegetables and protein your body is craving. This is also a great dish to have for a mini dinner party since it gives people an activity to do and helps people bond and feel connected to the meal.
Fresh roll ingredient inspiration (here is my typical go-to, but you can literally use or lose anything!) :
Bibb lettuce (this helps hold all of the veggies and acts a cradle before being wrapped in rice paper
Thinly sliced peppers
Thinly sliced cucumbers
Thinly sliced carrots
Avocado
Protein: roasted tofu, grilled shrimp, sautéed chicken
Directions:
Cut your desired veggies thinly length wise, about 3ish inches long
Slice the avocado into lengths
Prep your desired veggies and have them all on a plate for easy access
Cook your desire protein and have it cooled and ready. Keep in mind the protein is cut into small pieces so it can easily be rolled
Grab a medium sized bowl and fill it up with warm water. Take one rice paper and submerge it into the bowl of water for 30 seconds, until it softens and turns translucent.
Place the rice paper in one hand, then stack the bib lettuce followed by a variety of vegetables, avocado and protein
Gently wrap and roll the rice paper so it holds all of the goodies inside. Place on a plate and try to keep some space btw each roll soo that they don’t stick together. Repeat as man times as you want, creating whatever combinations you like.
Peanut Dipping Sauce (enough sauce for 8-10 rolls):
2 large tablespoons of smooth organic peanut butter
3 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos (you can also use soy sauce)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 garlic glove (chopped finely)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Directions for sauce:
In a bowl or small blender, mix all ingredients until it’s blended evenly. Add a splash of water to the mixture if you want it to be less thick
Serve in a bowl for easy dipping access
Enjoy these delicious rolls mindfully. Feel all of the fresh vegetables nourish your body and system.
