How to soften Spring Roll Skins
Fill a 9 inch pie plate with warm water, I use hot tap water.
Then roll the skin in water until it is pliable.
Then lay your spring roll skin on a clean working surface.
Add a butter lettuce leaf, rice vermicelli, red peppers, cucumbers, carrots, chopped cabbage, sliced radishes, and chopped cilantro.
Next, tuck and roll once and then fold in each side.
Then tuck and roll again until have a finished fresh spring roll ready to be dipped in yummy spicy carrot ginger sauce!
Lay finished spring rolls on wax paper for easy removal.
For the Spicy Carrot Ginger Sauce
In a small saute pan add the carrots and water.
Bring carrots to a simmer and cover and cook for 5 minutes.
In a blender add carrots (including the water they cooked in), rice vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, fresh grated ginger, salt and pepper, and sugar.
Blend until well combined.
Pour in a serving a dish and stir in ¼ tsp red pepper flakes. Allow the sauce to completely cool, then place in the refrigerator until chilled.
Serve with Fresh Spring Rolls and enjoy!
