Ingredients
8 ounces angel hair rice noodles
2 teaspoons sesame oil
10 rice wraps
1 head of romaine lettuce or red leaf lettuce
2 carrots
1 cucumber
4 ounces fresh mint
Serve with peanut sauce
Directions Below
Step ONE:
8 ounces angel hair rice noodles
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Rinse in cold water. Mix sesame oil into noodles.
Step TWO:
10 rice wraps
1 head of romaine lettuce or red leaf lettuce, chop into small pieces
2 carrots, cut into thin strips
1 cucumber, cut into thin strips
4 ounces fresh mint, remove leaves from stem
Boil 2 cups water and place in 9x9 or like dish. Quickly place one rice wrap in and out of the water, only submerge for 1-2 seconds. Place on plate. Put small amount of lettuce, 2-3 strips of carrots, 2-3 strips of cucumber, and 3 mint leaves into wrap. Tuck and roll wrap. Repeat until all ingredients are gone.
Serve with yummy peanut sauce!
Options:
4 ounces thai basil, remove leaves from stem
6 ounces cilantro, chopped
I like all three (mint, thai basil, and cilantro)!
Try swiss chard, spinach or any type of green in place of lettuce.
Tips:
Careful not to over stuff.
If rice wrap breaks while rolling, it was kept in water too long. Only dip for 1-2 seconds.
