Provided by Alexis Touchet

Yield Makes 6 servings (12 summer rolls)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Sauce:
2/3 cup hoisin sauce (see Cooks' notes:)
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
Summer rolls:
3 ounces dried rice-stick noodles
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 3/4 cups coarsely grated carrot (about 1 pound; use large holes on a box grater)
3 tablespoons finely chopped serrano or jalapeƱo chiles, including seeds
12 (8-inch) rice-paper rounds, plus more in case some tear
4 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 cup finely chopped cocktail peanuts
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup fresh basil leaves (Asian or Italian)

Steps:

  • For the sauce:
  • Whisk together sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  • For the summer rolls:
  • Put noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling-hot water. Soak noodles for 10 minutes then drain and pat dry. Toss noodles with 1 tablespoon lime juice. Cut noodles with kitchen shears or knife in 5 or 6 places.
  • Stir together sugar and remaining tablespoon lime juice in another bowl until sugar is dissolved, then toss with carrots and chiles.
  • Gently immerse 1 rice-paper round in a large bowl of hot tap water and let stand until soft and pliable, 15 to 20 seconds. Lift out, letting excess water drip off, then lay round on a work surface, smoothing it out. If round is still very wet, gently blot top with kitchen towel.
  • Arrange about 1/4 cup cabbage across center of round, leaving about 1 1/2 inches uncovered on both sides. Top cabbage evenly with 3 tablespoons carrot mixture, then sprinkle with 1 generous tablespoon peanuts. Cover mound of vegetables with a layer each of mint and basil leaves. Top evenly with about 2 tablespoons noodles.
  • Fold edge of wrapper nearest you over filling, tucking in filling as tightly as possible, until it touches other side of wrapper, then fold in sides and continue to tightly roll until sealed.
  • Put roll on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a damp towel and cover with another damp towel. Make 11 more rolls in same manner, storing them on baking sheet without touching.

These summer rolls were a bit too spicy for me, but they were still really good. I loved the fresh vegetables and the peanut dipping sauce. I'll definitely be making these again, but I'll use less chili sauce next time.

These summer rolls were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used more chili sauce in the peanut dipping sauce.
