Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • DRESSING
  • 1 tablespoon oil (olive oil)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chile paste (garlic and red chile paste)
  • ROLLS
  • 6 ounces carrots, julienned (2 medium)
  • 4 green onions, julienned
  • 3 ounces red bell pepper (1/2 pepper, julienned)
  • 1 medium cucumber (julienned, hot house or persian)
  • 356 grams cabbage (4 cups Chinese cabbage, slice thinly)
  • 90 grams mushrooms (5 mushrooms, sliced thinly)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 16 (340 grams) rice paper (softened, 16 rounds)
  • Cilantro leaves (30 to 35 fresh leaves, as garnish)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Combine all dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add all vegetables and the chopped cilantro. Toss thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Let set 10-15 minutes for flavors to blend.

  • Step 2: Soak one rice paper at a time in water until softened. Place on clean towel, and put 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the vege mixture about 2" from the lower edge of the rice paper

  • Step 3: Fold the lower edge up to cover the filling. Fold in the sides, and roll up gently. A pretty touch is to sprinkle the upper half of the rice paper with the whole cilantro leaves prior to completing the wrap - they show through the rice paper and are very decorative. Place on a plate, seam down, and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

  • Step 4: Serve with a sauce of your choice. Use the same ingredients as the dressing if you like, or experiment with mustard or plum sauce. I like the lighter combinations better with these rolls. Even commercial Chinese salad dressing works in a pinch
