A take off of Vietnamese fresh spring rolls that are little self-contained salads-to-go - crisp raw veggies and lots of minced fresh herbs, along with cooked shrimp, pork, fried tofu but in this recipeI used ingredients called for in the RSC contest all neatly wrapped up in a deliciously chewy-soft, rice paper that you eat with your hands. They’re delicious, refreshingly cool, and fun to make as a group so each can place what they want into them. Perfect for a light summer meal, or hors-d’oeuvre. Can be double very easily. Is served with 2 sauces both very different from each other and each complementing the duck. Rice paper rounds and rice vermicelli that are two of the essentials for this recipe so go ahead a alter this to add the vermicelli. Bean threads/bean vermicelli can be used in it's place. Ingredients:
6 spring roll wrappers (wrappers) |
6 sage leaves |
6 basil leaves |
6 cilantro leaves |
6 slices zucchini, thinly sliced on a mandolin paper 2 x 4, steamed till tender |
6 slices sweet potatoes, sliced on a mandolin paper thin 2 x 4, steamed till tender |
2 -3 ounces cooked duck, sliced thinly into 6 portions |
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup chopped rhubarb |
1/4 cup cherry preserves |
1 teaspoon orange zest |
1 teaspoon sliced scallion |
1 tablespoon water |
1 tablespoon peanut butter |
1 teaspoon soy sauce or 1 teaspoon fish sauce |
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil |
1 pinch chili pepper flakes |
1 thai peppers, diced finely (use as much or little as you like) |
Directions:
1. Heat in a saucepan all Rhubarb Cherry sauce ingredients for 5-10 minutes till rhubarb is tender.
2. With a hand blender blend till smooth.
3. Place in a small bowl garnished with scallions.
4. Set aside.
5. Heat all peanut sauce ingredients till blended about 30 seconds in the microwave.
6. Place in small bowl and garnish with peppers.
7. Set aside.
8. In a bowl of room temperature water soak spring rolls to soften.
9. Lay them on work surface place on each herbs following with rest of ingredients off center.
10. Then roll, bring sides in, then roll to seal.
11. Like you would do an egg roll.(The rice paper rounds are delicate once they’re soaked and softened for use, so be prepared to tear a few in the process of wrapping before you really get the hang of it. Once you’ve figured out exactly how much filling your wrappers can handle, however, making the rolls will be easy.).
12. Slice each in half on an angle, place the spring rolls cut side up.
13. Serving along with sauces.
