From Sunset Magazine's Western Ways with Rice Paper. Rice paper, best known for making spring rolls, is often made of tapioca flour as well as rice flour. You can find it in Asian markets. Ingredients:
1/4 lb cooked ham, cut into 2-inch-long julienne strips (1 cup) |
1 cup daikon radishes or 1 cup jicama, peeled and shredded, moisture squeezed out |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion |
8 sheets round rice paper (6 1/2- or 8 1/2-in. size) |
8 large romaine lettuce leaves, spears (optional) |
8 fresh cilantro stems |
3 tablespoons chunky peanut butter |
1 tablespoon water |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 tablespoon salad oil |
1 tablespoon vinegar |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
Directions:
1. Stir together all sauce ingredients with a wire whisk. (Alternatively, you can use your favorite sauce!).
2. In another bowl, mix together ham, daikon, cilantro, and green onion.
3. Brush both sides of rice paper with water; let stand until soft and pliable, about one minute.
4. About one inch from one side, place about 1/3 cup of the ham mixture in a band across the rice paper; roll up tightly to enclose. (Cover and chill up to 4 hours, if done ahead.)
5. To eat, place a roll on a romaine spear, garnish with a cilantro sprig, and spoon peanut sauce over top.
