Kelp Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sesame Sauce
Ingredients:
– 1 package of kelp noodles
– 8-10 rice paper wrappers
– 1 carrot, julienned
– 1 cucumber, julienned
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 avocado, sliced
– Fresh cilantro leaves
– Sesame seeds for garnish
Spicy Peanut Sesame Sauce:
– 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon grated ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce
– 2 tablespoons water
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the kelp noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside to cool.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the spicy peanut sesame sauce until well combined. Adjust the flavor to your liking by adding more sriracha for heat or more maple syrup for sweetness.
3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Working one at a time, dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5-10 seconds until it softens. Place the softened wrapper on a clean surface.
4. Arrange a small handful of kelp noodles in the center of the wrapper, leaving room on the sides to add the vegetable fillings.
5. Layer the julienned carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, avocado slices, and a few cilantro leaves on top of the kelp noodles.
6. Fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper over the fillings, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a spring roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
7. Serve the kelp spring rolls with the spicy peanut sesame sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds for an extra crunch and visual appeal.
