Ingredients
Green Curry Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup 1⁄2 cup canned coconut cream
- ¼ cup tightly packed fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp green curry paste
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- pinch chili flakes, optional
Fresh Rolls
- 10 10 dried rice paper sheets
- 5 large green leaf lettuce leaves, ribs removed, torn in half
- 2 avocados, sliced
- ½ English cucumber, ribboned with a peeler
- 1½ cups sugar snap peas
- 1½ cups packed microgreens or sprouts
- 1½ cups fresh mint leaves
- 1½ cups fresh basil leaves
- 1½ cups fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- To make the green curry sauce, in a high-powered blender, add the coconut cream, cilantro, green curry paste, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, sea salt, and chili flakes. Blend until very smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan and bring to a low simmer, cooking about 2 to 4 minutes, until slightly thicker and reduced.
- Once all your vegetables are prepped for the fresh rolls, fill a wide shallow dish that’s slightly larger than the rice paper sheets with tepid water so you can soak the whole sheet. Soak one rice paper sheet at a time, for 10 to 20 seconds. You still want to feel the cross- hatch pattern on the surface of the rice sheets. Don’t oversoak or it will be too soft and hard to roll.
- Assemble the rolls one at a time. Lay the wet rice paper sheets on a work surface. Add a piece of the lettuce and divide the avocado, cucumber, snap peas, microgreens or sprouts, and fresh herbs among the sheets in whatever order you like. Roll one side of the rice paper over the filling, tucking it in as you start rolling again and also folding the sides in. Continue rolling until completely sealed. Place on a plate or cut in half if you prefer.
- Serve with the green curry dipping sauce. Leftover dipping sauce will get thick from refrigeration. Add a teaspoon of water at a time to thin it out until it’s a smooth, dippable consistency.
