Mango Springrolls With Thai Dipping Sauce Food

FRUIT SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• For the rolls: Put the noodles in a medium bowl and add the honey and the mint. Using 2 forks, toss the ingredients together until the noodles are coated. Lay a damp kitchen or paper towel on a work surface. Soak a rice paper round in warm water for 20 to 30 seconds until softened. Put the rice paper on the damp towel. Add 1/4 cup of the noodle mixture in the center of the rice paper and form into a 3 by 2-inch rectangle. Using a paring knife, slice a strawberry lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange the slices over the noodle mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon almonds on top. Arrange 2 to 3 mango slices on top of the almonds. Roll the rice paper around the filling and seal the ends with a little water. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Wrap the finished spring rolls in damp paper towels and store in the refrigerator.
• For the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mint, honey and lime juice. Pour into a serving bowl.
• Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and serve with the dipping sauce.
• Cook's Note: To toast the almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly toasted, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely before using.

TROPICAL MANGO SPRING ROLLS WITH AVOCADO-CILANTRO DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a shallow pan larger than your spring roll wrappers (a pie plate works great) with warm water. Fold a lint-free tea towel in half and place it next to the dish. Place your prepared spring roll fillings within reach.
• Place one rice paper in the water and let it rest for about twenty seconds. You'll learn to go by feel here-wait until the sheet is pliable but not super floppy. Carefully lay it flat on the towel.
• Leaving about an inch of open rice paper around the edge, cover the lower third of the paper with about 1/2 cup chopped arugula. Top with four slices of mango down the length of the greens, followed by several slices of bell pepper and jalapeño, and finally, a sprinkle of green onions.
• Fold over one long side to enclose the filling, then fold over the short sides like you would a burrito, and lastly, roll it up, stretching the remaining long side around the the roll to seal it. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• To make your avocado sauce, combine the avocado, lime juice, water, cilantro and salt in a small food processor or blender. Purée until smooth and transfer to a small serving bowl. If you won't be serving the rolls immediately, press plastic wrap against the surface of the dip to prevent oxidation.
• Slice the rolls in half on the diagonal with a sharp chef's knife or serve whole, with avocado dipping sauce on the side.

VEGGIE SPRING ROLLS WITH THAI MANGO DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender, combine all the dipping sauce ingredients except the basil and cilantro. Blend until smooth, add the basil and cilantro and pulse until chopped. Pour into a bowl, cover and place in the fridge until serving.
• Squeeze a little lime juice over the sliced avocado. Create an assembly line of vegetables and herbs, so that they are all ready to go.
• Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Add a rice paper sheet, one at a time for 5 to 10 seconds. Remove and place on a flat surface. Toward one end of the rice wrapper, begin layering with 1 to 2 slices of avocado, small handfuls of fresh cilantro and mint, and a handful of veggies. Sprinkle the veggies with salt and pepper. Fold both ends to the center and roll the sheet as tightly as you can without ripping. Place each prepared spring roll on a serving platter and cover with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil to keep the spring rolls from drying out.
• Continue with remaining ingredients, adding them to the platter as you work. Keep the spring rolls covered with foil at all times.
• Serve the spring rolls with the mango dipping sauce and chopped peanuts (if desired).

RAINBOW SPRING ROLLS WITH SWEET CHILI MANGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare all your fruits and veggies and set them aside on a platter.
• Make the dipping sauce by placing all the ingredients into a blender and blend until mostly smooth with very small chunks. Place the dipping sauce into a serving bowl and set it aside.
• Fill a medium sized bowl with hot water, I use a pasta bowl because it's the perfect size for 6″ rice paper wrappers.
• Set the bowl by your work station, and choose a surface to roll on, I like to use either a dinner plate or cutting board.
• Take one rice paper wrapper and completely submerge it in the hot water, don't leave it to soak, just make sure every surface has touched water.
• Place the rice paper wrapper on your work surface and place a little of each veggie, mango, and avocado in the lower half. Place a leaf of lettuce over the veggies with a sprinkling of fresh herbs.
• Start rolling by carefully lifting up the bottom end and pulling it lightly over the fruits/veggies. Then tuck in each side before finishing the roll.
• Continue the rolling process until all the fruits and veggies are gone, placing them in a single layer to the side as you make them.
• When they're all made, place them on a serving platter and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
