Rice paper is available in the Asian-foods section of many supermarkets. Ingredients:
2 heads boston lettuce, leaves separated, rinsed and patted dry |
3 carrots, peeled |
4 scallions (with 3 inches of green left on) |
1 red bell pepper, seeded |
32 fresh mint leaves |
32 small sprigs cilantro |
spiced chili sauce |
Directions:
1. 1. Remove any tough veinsfrom the centerof the lettuce leaves and discard; set lettuce aside. Slice the carrots, scallions and red bell pepper into 4-inch matchsticks.
2. 2. Dip a rice paper into a bowl of water for 5 seconds; shake off excess water and place on a clean kitchen towel. Stack several lettuce leaves on the lower third of the rice paper. Top with a few carrot, scallion and bell-pepper matchsticks followed by 2 mint leaves and 2 cilantro sprigs.
3. 3. Fold the bottom of the rice paper up over the veggies. Fold in the sides, then roll up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve the rolls on a platter with Spiced Chili Sauce. (If you prefer to prepare the rolls in advance, cover them with a damp kitchen towel for up to 3 hours.)
