Ingredients
- This is a favourite meal when I have guests. It is gluten free and is pleasing for both meat lovers and vegetarians. There is a bit of work to make the different parts but you can choose what you include. It is fun to make your own food at the table...
- To have on the table:
- Pork meat balls and a satay sauce and/or Egg roll slices
- Coleslaw with many herbs, or lettuce greenery
- Roast peanuts, avocado, slices of red pepper, spring onions
DIY Rice Paper Wraps
Method
- Dipping Sauce 1 or 2 cloves of garlic 3 T brown sugar 1 T sweet Thai chilli sauce 2T fish sauce 2T water 3T lemon juice A few bits of a green herb to float on the top
- Blend all this together and either dip your rolls in it or pour it in once you have taken a bite
- Coleslaw/ Greenery This provides the bulk of your rolls, use whatever you have that is nice and fresh
- I usually grate two carrots, finely slice ¼ a small cabbage, (or half a bag of salad greens) finely slice ½ red onion and grate an apple Loads of herbs like mint, coriander, basil and parsley D
- For the Wrap: Have a large flat bowl of warmish water at the table (use a fry pan perhaps) then when you are all seated (with plenty of the above fillings) soak rice papers (that you get from the international aisle) two at a time
- They should only take 60 to 90 seconds to go transparent and soft
- Spread them each out individually on a plate and add fillings; roll them up and eat
- Use the coleslaw recipe above, as well as the dipping sauce
