I was taught how to make these at a party recently, and when it got really hot I wanted to have some more. These are fresh tasting and super filling, and great for using up your farmer's market haul!
Notes:
- Don't let the wrapper sit too long in the water or it will get really soft and might rip or get gummy.
- These don't keep very well (the wrapper texture gets kind of tough and it's kind of like chewing on plastic) so be sure you're going to eat them within about an hour of assembling them and do not refrigerate them. You can prepare and chop all of the ingredients and then store them until you're ready to make them.
- Suggestions for fillings:
- Vegetables: lettuce leaves, salad greens, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, sweet pepper, kohlrabi, radish
- Herbs: Thai basil, regular basil, mint, cilantro
- Proteins: dry fried tofu, shredded cooked chicken or pork, cooked shrimp
- Others: cooked rice vermicelli, cooked glass noodles, mango, avocado
RECIPE: Salad Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce
