Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 4 rolls
Ingredients
- 4 rice paper wrappers
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 1/4 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the ripe mango, julienne the cucumber, and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well blended. This will be your Thai peanut dipping sauce.
- Fill a shallow dish or a large plate with warm water. Take one rice paper wrapper and gently submerge it in the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes pliable. Be careful not to soak it too long, as it will continue to soften once removed from the water.
- Once the rice paper wrapper is pliable, lay it flat on a clean, damp surface or cutting board. Place a small amount of the diced mango, julienned cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro in the center of the wrapper, leaving about an inch of space on the sides.
- Fold the sides of the rice paper wrapper over the filling, then carefully roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the filling as you go to create a tight roll. Repeat this process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.
- Once all the summer rolls are assembled, arrange them on a serving platter. Serve the mango salsa summer rolls with the Thai peanut dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy your fresh and vibrant Mango Salsa Summer Rolls with a burst of flavors!
Tips
- Rice Paper Technique: Work with one wrapper at a time and keep the others covered to prevent drying out. Use warm (not hot) water to soften the rice paper, and let it rest for a few seconds until it becomes pliable but not too soft.
- Prep Ingredients in Advance: Chop and slice all your vegetables beforehand to make assembly smooth and quick. This is especially helpful if you're making these for a gathering.
- Keep Rolls Tight: When rolling, fold the sides in first, then roll from the bottom up, ensuring a tight seal to prevent ingredients from falling out.
- Sauce Consistency: If your peanut sauce is too thick, add a little warm water to thin it out. If it's too thin, add more peanut butter.
- Serve Immediately: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to prepare them in advance, cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to add protein like shredded chicken or tofu, or swap ingredients based on what you have on hand.
