Spring rolls for Doro

For a short while I took part in the cooking group at work. I actually probably only brought food once; namely vietnamese spring rolls. They are awesome. Easy to make, delicious and reasonably healthy. I promised Doro a recipe. So here it is, only a couple of years late:

Raw vegetables
Vegetables of your choice, for example

• Chopped cabbage
• Sprouted seeds
• Fresh spinach
• Chopped carrots
• sweet peas
• Chopped cucumber
• Avocado
• Fresh koriander leaves
• Fresh peppermint leaves

All vegetables are cut into pieces that fit in a spring roll and arranged in a dish.

Sauces

We're a bit lazy and usually just buy pre-made auster and sweet-chili sauce. And for special occasions we make our own peanut butter dressing. For that you need:     

• Peanut butter, any type goes
• Juice from one lime (We sometimes just use lemon juice)
• A bit of chilli 
• Some garlic
• Soy sauce
• Tap water

 The ingredients can be mixed to taste. It seems strange to add water at first, but after some stirring the dressing changes consistency as it takes up water. 

Fried filling

We like adding some fried meet or soy product. Here is one suggestion from us of what to add:

• Grated garlic
• Grated ginger
• Some minced meat or soy product
• Chopped zucchini
• Chopped aubergine (or eggplant)

All ingredients are fried in a pan. The vegetables need quiet a long time before they're finished.

We usually put all ingredients on the table and make the spring rolls as we eat. We have a bowl of hot water on the table, the rice paper is placed in the water until it's soft, put on your plate and filled with the ingredients of choice. Enjoy!
