Summer Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce Recipe

Summer Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce Recipe

  • Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chile paste
  • Rolls:
  • 2 ounces dry rice vermicelli (thin Asian rice-flour noodles)
  • 8 round (8-inch to 9-inch diameter) rice-paper sheets (spring roll wrappers) or large lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves
  • 1 cup julienned cucumber, with peel
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced Grilled Ginger-Soy Chicken (see recipe)
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  1. Combine sauce ingredients in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook rice vermicelli per package directions (cooked yield should be about 1 cup). Rinse with cold water and drain.
  3. Soak 1 rice-paper sheet in warm water 30 to 90 seconds or until soft. Carefully transfer to clean towel and blot dry. Place 3 or 4 basil leaves along bottom third of sheet (leaving 1/2″ margin along edges). Layer 1/8 cup of the rice vermicelli on top of basil, followed by 1/8 of the cucumber, carrots, chicken, and mint leaves. Starting from the bottom, roll rice paper around the filling. Fold sides up and continue rolling until roll is sealed completely. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling. Cut each roll in half crosswise and serve with peanut sauce.
