You will need the following ingredients for 2 portions:
Summer rolls:
- 10-15 g cooked rice noodles
- 5-8 sheets of rice paper
- 1 carrot
- 1 avocado
- ½ Cucumber
- ½ Paprika
- 5-8 green salad leaves
- 1 handful of basil
- 1 handful of coriander (optional)
Peanut sauce:
– 4 Tbsp unsweetened peanut butter / peanut butter
– 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 pressed garlic clove
- 3-4 tbsp warm water
- ½ tsp Sriracha
And this is how it works:
Step 1:
Firstly, prepare the glass noodles by boiling them in hot water with a pinch of salt. Then peel the carrot and wash the cucumber and pepper before cutting the vegetables into thin strips. Deseed the avocado and cut it into fine strips. Then wash the lettuce leaves, basil and coriander and drain the ingredients briefly on a piece of kitchen paper.
Step 2:
Now it's time to prepare the sauce. Simply place all of the ingredients listed in a blender and blend until you have a creamy, smooth sauce.
Step 3:
Now take the rice paper sheets and place them in a round bowl or large pan of warm water for about a minute. Leave the rice paper to soak and then place it on a large plate. Dab the rice paper leaves with a damp kitchen towel.
Step 4:
Take a little of your prepared ingredients and place them in the centre of the rice paper. Drizzle about a teaspoon of the peanut sauce on top. Once all the ingredients are positioned on the rice paper, fold in the side edges and carefully roll from the bottom upwards. Make sure that you roll up the roll tightly so that it holds together well.
Et voila - Your summer rolls are ready! Arrange the rolls on a plate, pour the remaining peanut sauce into a bowl and garnish with a little coriander, sesame seeds or spring onions.
