Summer Rolls

Recipe from City Market Employee

You can easily adapt this recipe and make up your own fillings! Quinoa makes for a great plant-based protein and you can easily make a sweet version with fresh fruits instead of veggies. 

Prep Time

30 minutes

Cook Time

15 minutes

Yield

10 Rolls

Ingredients

10 rice paper wrappers
1⁄2 cup vinegar, white
6 carrot (sliced into 1/4 inch matchsticks )
1 cup quinoa (cooked)
2 avocado (thinly sliced )
1 cup radish shoots
1⁄2 cucumber (sliced into 1/4 inch matchsticks)
1 bell pepper, red (sliced into 1/4 inch matchsticks)
1⁄2 bunch cilantro, fresh
2 lime juice
  peanut sauce

Instructions

Place the carrots in a bowl with the vinegar and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prep other veggies and cook quinoa.

When you are ready to assemble your rolls, set out a large bowl or pot of warm water. One at a time, submerge the dry rice wrappers in the water for about 10 seconds and carefully remove. (It will be fragile, so handle with care.) Lay out the wrapper on a smooth surface and add a small scoop of quinoa down in the middle. The texture of the quinoa will help prevent the veggies from sliding as you roll. Then, layer in desired veggies—don’t forget your vinegar carrots! Add a few sprigs of cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Roll the wrapper around the filling halfway, then fold in the sides, and then complete the roll. Set aside and assemble your remaining rolls. Serve with your favorite sauce, like this peanut sauce.
