I've been enjoying exploring the world of Thai Food. I've managed to replicate the summer rolls from a favorite restaurant, to our liking, but haven't had the same good fortune with an Entrée. It's making me a little trigger shy, but I'm hoping to work up the courage to try again. Any way... these summer rolls are very refreshing, they are basically a salad "to go".
Summer Roll
Rice or tapioca paper (at Asian market)rice noodles (at Asian market)
Cilantro
Mint
Basil
lettuce
Carrot thin slices
You can really put in any veggies and herbs that you prefer. My parents have tried cucumber and avocado and found it to be tasty. We just went with this b/c it was the stuff that was in it at the restaurant that we enjoyed.
Peanut sauce
2 Tbl. Hoisin sauce (at Asian market)1/3 c. peanut butter
splash of lime juice (or lemon)
1 tsp. sugar
5 Tbl. water
I've never understood Thai food, maybe it's because I've only eaten it once years ago. This post however, has me drueling. Looks worth a try to me. Thanks for sharing.
