The one with spring rolls...

My mom is a huge YouTube fan, she watches all types of videos and is forever telling and showing me things. Recently she seen a video for spring rolls and she just had to have me make it so she could try it. She sent me to the store with a list of ingredients and made me watch the video to see how it was done. When moms asks for something I have to deliver! They were pretty easy to make and I for sure will be making them for iftar.

All you need is:

Romaine lettuce

Jalapeño

Carrots

Cucumber

Imitation crab meat

Cilantro

Rice paper wrappers

All you have to do is:

Wash and cut all veggies into uniform julienned slices (remove jalapeno seeds if you don’t want it to be too spicy)

Dip wrapper into warm water for 10 seconds (the wrapper is hard out of the package so it needs to be hydrated in the water to be able to wrap)

Place wrapper onto clean working surface and top 1/3 of the wrapper with veggies and imitation crab meat (when you slice the rolls you will see the layers of veggies so try to stack them neatly) Roll the wrap like an egg roll or burrito (To do so, gently pull up the bottom of the roll and roll over the filling. Then, roll and use your hands to tuck the filling in as you go And fold in the side. Remember, you want a very tight roll)

Place on a flat dish and continue to make rolls

When ready to serve slice rolls in half and pair with a dipping sauce

I like to serve them with this easy dipping sauce:

Bring 1 cup peanut butter, 1tsp ginger paste, 1tsp siracha, 2tsp soy sauce, 3tap water to a low simmer. Let chill to room temp and serve

And this is what my rolls looked like.

This was a really fun, easy, yummy dish to make and I can’t wait to make it with other item. These would be perfect for a party so I will for sure be serving them soon.
