Welcome to my food blog.

MANGO SPRING ROLLS WITH THAI PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE

Looking for something that is fresh and light? How about quick? You can check all of these boxes with these fruit an vegetable spring rolls.

The fun thing about spring rolls is you can essentially use whatever filings you want!

One of my favorite parts about a spring roll is the mix of soft and crunch. The red cabbage and bell pepper are the perfect compliment to the mango and avocado.

We can’t forget the Two Brothers Thai Peanut Sauce. It’s so good with these rolls as the main dipping sauce.

MANGO SPRING ROLLS WITH THAI PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE RECIPE

Ingredients

  • 1-2 packs rice wraps (depending on your feeding party size)

  • carrots, using a peeler, peel 2-3 carrots

  • 2 mangos, skinned, julienned

  • 1 red bell pepper, core removed, julienned

  • 2 avocados, thinly sliced

  • 1 red cabbage, thinly shred a cup or so

  • 1 heart of romaine, thinly shred a cup or so

  • 4 small cucumbers, julienned

  • Two Brother’s Thai Peanut Sauce, or any dipping sauce

Instructions

Have everything precut before you dip the rice wraps into water.

For each roll, dip the rice paper circular sheet into a bowl or tray of water that will fit it. Do these 1 by 1, because they get soft quicker than you think and get incredibly difficult to handle. You will dip these in and out of the water, submerging them for about 10 seconds. They will not be soft right away, but once you lay them on to a plate, it happens quick.

Lay down each rice paper, one at a time. You can put the “fillings” in whatever order you want. There’s no rhyme or reason here really. I do like to put the red cabbage slices on last, so thats when you fold the soft sticky rice wrap over itself, it can cling to the sharp edges of the cabbage. The rice wrap packaging does have folding instructions. It may take a few practice rolls, is all I’m saying.

They will dry a little bit after you form each roll, so don’t worry about them falling apart. Once you wrap them and make sure the seal is firm, they should be fine.

Don’t forget your dipping sauce! With this amount of ingredients, you should be able to make around 20 rolls.
