Summer Rolls And Peanut Dipping Sauce
Instructions
1. Prepare Rice Sticks according to package directions, drain and keep aside.
2. Have all other ingredients chopped and ready. Place damp paper towels on the bottom of a large platter or container.
3. Fill a wide, shallow dish or bowl with very warm water. Place one wrapper in the water for about one minute, or until it is soft and pliable. Remove from the water and spread it out evenly on a dish or other work surface.
4. Take a small portion of all of the prepared ingredients and layer them on the bottom half of the rice paper wrapper. Be careful not to over stuff.
5. Fold the bottom half of the rice paper wrapper over the filling. Hold it firmly in place and fold the sides of the wrapper in. Then, continue rolling the wrapper, pressing firmly down to hold the folds in place. This may take some practice.
6. Place the Summer Roll, with the rice paper seam facing downward, on the damp paper towels in the prepared container.
7. Repeat process for remaining rolls. Each Summer Roll should be placed in the platter so that it does not touch the next roll, else they will stick.
8. Tightly cover platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Summer Rolls should not be made more than 3-4 hours prior to serving.
Peanut Dipping Sauce:
1. In a small bowl, soften Peanut Butter with Hot Water.
2. Mix in remain ingredients and mix until smooth.
3. Serve with Summer Rolls.
