Not really sushi but not sure what else to call these, which I recreated by sampling the ones made at my local supermarket! These are a stunning low fat low cal appetizer, something different for a change! Fresh vegetables, vermicelli rice noodles, avocado and crab tucked into a rice paper roll and ready for dipping in a tangy sauce! Read more ! WORTH THE EFFORT! Ingredients:
rice paper rounds (see pic for an example) |
surimi seafood (fake crab) |
vegetables below should all be sliced thin and long |
cucumber (1/4 english cucumber) |
red and green pepper (about 1/2 of each pepper) |
green onion (3 or 4 ) |
carrot (1 large carrot) |
avocado (1 peeled and cut into long pieces) |
vermicelli rice noodles, cooked (about 2 cups) |
fresh cilantro |
1 cup canned water chestnuts, chopped |
dipping sauce |
1/2 cup plum sauce |
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar |
fresh grated ginger 1 tsp |
fresh grated carrot 4 tsp |
fresh cilantro chopped 2 tsp |
Directions:
1. Assemble everything you will need.
2. Please note, in photo I have added a splash of soy sauce inside each roll.
3. A bowl large enough to dip the rice paper on filled with hot water
4. A clean dish towel
5. Vegetables all cut and ready
6. Crab cut into long skinny pieces
7. Water Chestnuts
8. Avocado
9. Crab
10. Rice paper rounds
11. Vermicelli and Cilantro
12. A parchment paper or waxed paper lined tray
13. Take one of the Rice paper rounds and soak it in the hot water for 5 to 10 seconds until soft. Lay on dish towel. Arrange ingredients, order not important, just line them up and finish with the vermicelli and cilantro.
14. Tuck paper over ingredients, then fold sides in, then roll up. Doesnt have to be super tight, just keep everything nice and together inside and let the rice paper do the rest. Place seam side down on parchment paper. Continue until you have used all the ingredients. I usually have more of one thing or another left near the end, so just make up the rolls with whatever I have.
15. Cover with saran wrap and store in fridge until ready to serve.
16. Assemble dip ingredients, whisk and place in dipping bowl.
17. Enjoy!
