Ingredients

  • Salad Rolls
  • 6oz/175g rice stick noodles
  • 10 round rice paper sheets
  • 10 green curly lettuce leaves
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded
  • 2 ripe mangos, peeled and julienned
  • 1 English cucumber, peeled, seeded and julienned
  • 3 tbsp plus 1 tsp fresh chopped basil
  • Thai Dipping Sauce
  • 1⁄4 cup soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

Directions

  1. For the salad rolls, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add rice stick noodles and cook according to package directions. When tender, drain, rinse with cold water and drain well again. Set aside. Place 1 rice paper sheet in a shallow bowl or pie plate of hot water until just softened, about 1 minute. Lay rice paper sheet on tea towel. Place a lettuce leaf down the center of the rice sheet leaving a 1-inch border at the top and bottom. Place 1⁄4 cup rice noodles lengthwise on the lettuce leaf followed by 1 tbsp shredded carrots, 6 slices of mango, 4 slices of cucumber and 1 tsp chopped basil. Fold up the bottom 1-inch border of rice paper placing it over the filling. Fold in the right side, followed by the left side and then the top, forming a tight cylinder. Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets and filling. Serve with dipping sauce.
  2. For the dipping sauce, in a medium bowl, whisk soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, ginger and hot sauce.
