Chili Mango Summer Rolls With Ginger Peanut Sauce Food

MANGO SUMMER ROLLS WITH GINGER-PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spring rolls: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli or rice noodles and cook according to the package directions, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
• For the ginger-peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, lime juice, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl and whisk together. Slowly add in hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. (It should be thick but pourable.)
• To assemble the spring rolls: Pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse a sheet of rice paper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer the rice paper to a cutting board and gently spread out the edges, taking care not to tear them. On the bottom third of the wrapper, place a small handful of cooked noodles and a layer of bell pepper, cucumber, mango and a few leaves of basil and cilantro. Gently fold over once, then tuck in the edges and roll until the seam is sealed, like wrapping a burrito. (It's OK if the first one fails; it may take a few attempts to get used to rolling them up.)
• Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with a damp towel to keep fresh. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Serve with ginger-peanut sauce.

CHILI MANGO SUMMER ROLLS WITH GINGER PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. To make the peanut sauce. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Thin as desired with additional coconut milk. 2. To make the mango chili sauce. Combine the honey, lime juice, chili sauce, and vinegar in a bowl. Mix in the mango, cilantro, and basil. Season with salt. 3. Squeeze a little lime juice over the avocado. Create an assembly line of vegetables or toss all the veggies into a bowl. 4. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Add each rice paper sheet, one at a time, for 5 to 10 seconds. Remove and place on a flat surface. Towards one end of the rice wrapper, begin layering avocado, lettuce leaves, herbs, and veggies. Spoon over 2 teaspoons chili sauce. Fold both ends to the center and roll to seal. Keep the rolls covered to prevent them from drying out. 5. Serve with both dipping sauces. ENJOY!
