SUMMER ROLLS

SUMMER ROLLS

We spent New Year's Eve together as a family this year as we have pretty much since the kids were born. Despite being winter, we made homemade summer rolls for the event! What a fun thing to do! We also had oven baked tofu with organic BBQ sauce and a few other finger foods.

We bought the rice paper at the grocery store and a few other ingredients. You can put what you want in your summer rolls, but this is the type of stuff we used:

Lettuce, rice, avocodo, mango, cucumber, shredded carrot...

Basically we wet the rice paper in a large bowl of warm water for 5-10 seconds. We then lay the paper on a towel...added a bit of lettuce in a little row near the bottom and then added a few thin slices of cucumber, mango etc. - not too much because you then have to roll the paper up tightly. First fold in the sides towards the middle and then roll the whole thing up. Serve cold with sauces. I will post the sauces we made which are also good for other stuff!
