I had my girlfriends over for dinner last week, and wanted a fun, interactive (key word: I didn’t want to have to do that much work) type of a meal. My answer? Spring Rolls!
I simply prepped the veggies before work, made a couple dipping sauces and boiled the shrimp once they arrived… a simple tutorial on how to roll them and we were all set!
For veggies I did:
- Carrot (use a veggie peeler for the ribbon effect)
- Mango
- Cucumber
- Jalapeno
- Red Leaf Lettuce
- Mint/Basil
Other additions/ideas:
- Vermicelli (rice noodles)
- Shrimp
- Tofu
- Marinated pork/steak
Soak spring roll wrappers in warm water for 30 seconds or so and then add your favorite toppings and roll burrito-style.
I also served a super yummy Thai Chicken Salad that I HIGHLY recommend… I used light coconut milk in the recipe and it was delicious!
We paired everything with a yummy Sauvignon Blanc… and we were all set for a wonderful meal together!
