Cold Rolls with Peanut Sauce

Cold Rolls are the most ideal summer meal because they require little to no heat and are fresh! Perfectly paired with my peanut sauce.

Hey there friends! With summer weather on the horizon (please god, let that be so) I got to making some summery rainbow rolls for a friend’s dinner.  They turned out amazing and felt compelled to share the recipe with you!!!

Like any thing, recipes are open to tons of interpretation, modifying and “winging” it if you will. This is what I had on hand for these rolls but you could literally fill these with any veggie of your choice.

Ingredients
  

COLD ROLL INGREDIENTS

  • 8 medium sized round rice paper sheets
  • 1 medium orange carrot (peeled and julienned)
  • 1 small cucumber (peeled and julienned)
  • ½ of a red pepper (peeled and julienned)
  • 1 Ataulfo mango (sliced)
  • ¼ of a small purple cabbage (thinly sliced)
  • handful of fresh basil
  • handful of fresh mint

PEANUT SAUCE INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tsp tamari
  • 1 tsp ginger (minced)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2-4 tbsp warm water
  • pinch of chili flakes
  • sesame seeds
  • skinless shelled peanuts

Instructions
 

  • Dampen two tea towels and layer them on a cookie sheet. You will be putting the finished rolls between the towels so they don’t dry out before you serve.
  • Put some hot tap water in a large bowl. Slip a rice paper sheet into the water and let soak until soft (30 to 60 seconds). The sheet should be pliable enough so that you can roll it around the fillings without tearing but not so firm that it will be chewy.
  • Place the softened sheet flat on a cutting board and arrange a few pieces each of the carrot, cucumber, pepper, and cabbage. Add a few leaves of basil and mint. The fillings should be near the middle of the sheet (back to front) and should be at least an inch from the edges (side to side). Grab the edge of the sheet that is farthest from you and fold it back over the fillings.
  • Fold the side edges up to close the ends of the roll. Then roll the bundled fillings back towards you.
  • Put the completed roll between the damp tea towels and start again until you run out of ingredients or rice paper. Filling and rolling is something that can be fun for kids (or adults) to do either with you or while you are preparing the rest of the meal.
  • Whisk all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small bowl except for the water.
  • Add two tablespoons of the water and whisk again and see if the consistency of the sauce is runny enough to allow the rolls to be dipped without breaking but not so runny so that it won’t stick to the rolls.
  • Transfer the rolls and the dipping sauce to serving dishes and garnish with sesame seeds and peanuts.
