Veggie Spring Rolls With Thai Mango Dipping Sauce Food

RICE PAPER ROLLS WITH MANGO

Steps:

• Cut the avocado, the carrots, the mango, the lettuce, and the purple cabbage into thing stripes.
• When you're done cutting the veggies, fill a shallow bowl with water and dip the rice papers in water so they get moderately wet on both sides. Don't let them soak too long, so they don't get too soft.
• First make the tofu (it's optional but really yummy): Cut the tofu into thin stripes (about 0.10 inches thick) and heat the sesame oil in a medium-sized pan. Add the tofu and the soy sauce and cook for about 4 minutes until the tofu is brown and crispy. Then add the sesame seeds and cook for another minute.
• When you soaked the rice papers, fill them with the veggies and the tofu (if using) and wrap them like a burrito. I think it's best to center the filling and then roll it up and fold in the two side flaps.
• Then make the peanut dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter with the soy sauce, the garlic, the warm water, and the sriracha sauce.
• Serve the rice paper rolls with the peanut dipping sauce.

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).

VEGETARIAN MANGO SPRING ROLLS WITH MANGO NUOC CHAM DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Prep pre-shift and hold approximately 1 shift, well wrapped and refrigerated.
• On a cutting board with 2-4 wet spring roll wrappers at a time lay down 2 slices of mango on each roll, opposite of each other.
• Add 2 leaves each of basil and cilantro, then 3 leaves each of mint per roll.
• Add 1 ounce brown rice, then 3-4 pieces of red pepper julienne per roll.
• Fold the sides of the wrapper over so they each cover half of the filling, then roll the filling into a "cigar."

THAI FRESH SPRING ROLLS (WITH VEGETARIAN OPTION)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Set rice wrappers aside. In a cup, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce (if using), and brown sugar.
• Place rice noodles, shrimp, bean sprouts, Thai basil, coriander, carrots, and spring onions in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the soy sauce mixture over. Toss to mix.
• Then form the rolls.
• Fill a large bowl with hot water (but not boiling, as you'll be dipping your fingers into it). Start by submerging 1 wrapper into the water. It should soften after 30 seconds.
• Remove the wrapper and place on a clean surface. Add another wrapper to the hot water as you fill and roll the first one.
• Place a heaping tablespoon of roll ingredients toward the bottom of the wrapper. Spread out the ingredients horizontally (in the shape of a fresh roll).
• Fold the sides of the wrapper over the ingredients, then bring up the bottom.
• Tuck the bottom around the ingredients and roll to the top of the wrapper.
• To secure the roll: Wet it with a little water on your fingers and press (like sealing an envelope).
• To serve, place your platter or bowl of rolls on the table along with the dipping sauce.
• Eat with your fingers; keep lots of napkins nearby.
• Gather the ingredients.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together water, tamarind paste, sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, arrowroot powder dissolved in 3 tablespoons water, 1 clove minced garlic , and dried chile flakes, if desired.
• When near boiling, reduce heat to low, stirring until sauce thickens.
• Taste for saltiness, spiciness, and sweetness, adding more fish sauce (instead of salt), more sugar, or more chile flakes as desired.
• The sauce can be served warm or cold.

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.

VEGETARIAN NAM JIM (THAI DIPPING SAUCE)

Steps:

• Stir: Stir together the lime juice, golden mountain sauce, and brown sugar until the brown sugar is dissolved. Brown sugar takes a while to dissolve and sitting in the lime really helps to speed the process. You can stir it constantly for about a minute, or just let it sit for about five minutes and then give it a quick stir.
• Combine: Add Thai chiles, garlic, ginger, Thai basil, and toasted sesame oil.
• To serve: You can serve this right away, or let it marinate to let the flavors combine. It gets spicier the longer it sits.

VEGETARIAN SUMMER ROLLS WITH 3 DIPPING SAUCES

Steps:

• For each sauce, set aside the garnish and mix together all the ingredients in a medium size bowl. Add the garnish right before serving. Makes 3/4 cup peanut sauce; makes 3/4 cup hoisin sauce; makes 1 cup of Vietnamese dipping sauce (nuoc cham).
• Cut the block of tofu into 1/2 inch strips. Add a teaspoon of oil to a pan over medium high heat and fry the tofu strips until they are golden brown on both sides. About 4 - 5 minutes. Set this aside.
• Add about a third inch of water to a large shallow dish to dip the rice paper wrappers in. Dip one sheet of rice paper wrapper in the water for two seconds and place it on a flat surface. (see Note 2)
• Starting with the side closest to you, add the mix greens/lettuce and shredded red cabbage on top of the rice paper wrapper, leaving an inch of wrapper on the edge to grab ahold of later. This will provide a barrier between the vegetable filling and the delicate rice paper wrappers.
• Next place the peppers, carrots, tofu, and avocado on top of the mixed greens. Finally add the vermicelli rice noodles and fresh herbs on top of everything. You should have a stack of the filling piled on top of each other.
• (Optional) For presentation: if you prefer to see the colorful vegetables through the wrapper, lay them flat on the rice paper wrapper in the center. As you're rolling it up, you should be able see the vegetables through the rice paper.
• Starting from the end closest to you, pick up the inch of wrapper left uncovered and roll it up a quarter of the way.
• Continue rolling until all the filling is rolled into the rice paper wrapper.
• Fold the left and right side of the wrapper towards the center and continue to roll it all the way up.
• Place the summer roll on a plate and let it sit for 1 minute or until the wrapper is no longer tacky. The surface should still feel soft and pliable but it should not feel sticky since the excess water should be absorbed by now.
• Cut each summer roll crosswise into about 2 inch pieces and arrange them on a plate. Serve with the peanut, hoisin, and Vietnamese dipping sauces.

VEGAN SPRING ROLLS WITH SPICY THAI SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook rice with 2 cups water - I use a rice cooker or instant pot.
• Cut up cucumber into matchsticks (normally I cut into quarters and then matchsticks from the quarters).
• Place asparagus (ends trimmed) on aluminum foil and toss with olive oil and seasoned salt.
• Grill on high heat for 3 minutes (or bake in the oven for 7 minutes at 350°F).
• Remove from heat and cut into thirds

SPRING ROLLS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the peanut sauce, so the flavors can meld as you make the spring rolls. Add the peanut butter, tamari, lime juice, maple syrup, sriracha, ginger, and garlic to a small bowl, and whisk well, until it looks smooth. Add a tablespoon of water, and mix again, until the sauce is silky smooth, with a dip-able consistency. Set aside.
• To prepare the spring rolls, place a single sheet of rice paper under running water and make sure it's totally coated on both sides. Place the wet sheet of paper on a towel or cutting board, then start adding the veggie fillings.
• Start with a small piece of romaine lettuce, followed by a pinch of shredded cabbage and carrots, sliced cucumber and carrots, then top it off with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Be sure to leave at least an inch of space on the sides and bottom, so you'll have room to roll up the rice paper.
• Once the fillings are added, grab the bottom of the rice paper and gently pull it over the top of the fillings. Next, you'll fold the two sides over the top of the veggie fillings, as if you're rolling up a burrito. Finally, you'll continue rolling towards the top, until the spring roll is totally wrapped up.
• Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and fillings, then serve right away with the peanut dipping sauce. I like to cut the rolls in half with a sharp knife, so I can dip the center of the rolls directly in the sauce.

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.

AUTHENTIC VIETNAMESE SPRING ROLLS (NEM RAN HAY CHA GIO)

Steps:

• Combine the noodle pieces, chicken, shrimp, eggs, carrot, wood fungus mushrooms, and green onions in a large bowl. Sprinkle in sugar, salt, and black pepper; stir filling mixture well.
• Soak 1 rice paper wrapper in a shallow bowl of warm water to soften, about 15 seconds. Remove from water and place on a damp cloth laid out on a flat surface.
• Place 1 tablespoon of filling mixture into the center of the softened rice paper. Fold the bottom edge into the center, covering the filling. Fold in opposing edges and roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers, soaking and filling each one individually.
• Heat oil in a work or large skillet over medium heat.
• Fry the spring rolls in batches of 3 or 4 until crisp and golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

VIETNAMESE SPRING ROLLS WITH CRISPY TOFU

Steps:

• Start by preparing rice noodles in boiling hot water for about 10 minutes (read instructions on package), then drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cut pressed tofu into small rectangles. Toss in 3 Tbsp cornstarch and flash fry in ~3 Tbsp sesame oil (amounts as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), flipping on all sides to ensure even browning - about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• Prep veggies and prepare almond butter sauce by adding all sauce ingredients except water to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add enough hot water to thin until a pourable sauce is achieved. Adjust flavors as needed (I often add a little more chili garlic sauce and brown sugar).
• To add more flavor to the tofu, transfer ~2.5 Tbsp of the sauce to a small bowl and add an additional Tablespoon each of soy sauce, sesame oil and brown sugar or agave (amounts as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) and whisk to combine.
• Add tofu back to the skillet over medium heat and add "sauce/glaze," stirring to coat. Cook for several minutes or until all of the sauce is absorbed and the tofu looks glazed, stirring frequently (see photos). Set aside with prepared veggies and vermicelli noodles.
• To assemble spring rolls, pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse rice paper to soften for about 10-15 seconds.
• Transfer to a damp cutting board or damp towel and gently spread out edges into a circle. It may take a little practice, so don't feel bad if your first few attempts are a fail!
• To the bottom third of the wrapper add a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, fresh herbs and 2-3 pieces of tofu on top (see photo). Gently fold over once, tuck in edges, and continue rolling until seam is sealed.
• Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with damp warm towel to keep fresh. Repeat until all fillings are used up - about 8-10 spring rolls total (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
• Serve with almond butter sauce and sriracha or hot sauce of choice. I like to mix mine and go dip happy.
• Leftovers store well individually wrapped in plastic wrap, though best when fresh.
