Recently I have been craving Thai-food and got inspired to try to make something I spotted on the take out menu on one of my favorite vegan Thai places here in LA. Summer rolls are great nowadays because you can stuff them with whatever you have left in your fridge. I used what I had available, and been making this easy dish every second day ever since. The special peanut butter sauce makes the dish even tastier, but also works with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce. All these colors on the different veggies make me happy, and this is definitely a great immune booster too!
What you need
rice paper
carrot
cucumber
avocado
leftover sweet potato
seeds
bell pepper
peanut butter
cream cheese - I used a vegan one.
What you do
Start with slicing all the veggies in thin pieces. Fill a large bowl with hot water. Add one rice paper at the time to the water bowl until the paper gets soft, hold it over the bowl while you wait or the water to drip off.
Place the paper on a large plate and add your favorite toppings. drizzle some seeds on top for some healthy fats. Then wrap the sticky rice paper together, like a burrito or taco wrap. Easy like that. It doses’t has to look perfect, but the taste will still be the same. This is a fun thing to do together in the kitchen, with your friends, the only things that takes time is the prep of the veggies. For the meat lovers, you can obviously add some chicken.
Peanut sauce
Add one large tbs cream cheese, one large tbs peanut butter and a little bit of hot water to a bowl, mix together, add more water if you prefer a thinner texture. Voila - creamy peanut butter dip sauce.
I hope you like it.
I wish you a lovely rest of the week.
Best, Eline S.
