I figured I'd post a nice light and healthy dish for the day after Thanksgiving. Maybe make it for lunch, then dive back into Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner!
You can get as creative as you would like when it comes to
filling these fresh rolls and also serve with a few different sauces, especially if serving at a party. Blissful Bites cookbook by Christy Morgan is a great little Vegan cookbook with a wide variety of recipes. I've made several dishes from it already.

Rice Paper for soft rolls
Warm Water
Red cabbage, thinly sliced
Carrots, matchsticks
Pan fried Tempeh (in oil and a few dashed of soy sauce)
Soy sauce for cooking Tempeh
Green onion
Avocado, slice
Thin rice noodles, cooked according to package instructions
Almond bliss
Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup
unsalted creamy almond butter
3 tablespoons
tamari
3 tablespoons
brown rice vinegar
2 tablespoons
brown rice syrup
1 teaspoon
grated ginger
1/4 water,
as necessary, to obtain desired consistency
Cut Tempeh into thin slices. Add oil into sauté pan and fry tempeh. Add a few dashes of soy sauce – if
using.
Big bowl of warm water to dip rice paper in, a cutting board
or plate to create rolls on.
Dip the entire piece of rice paper in the water, then
pulling it out right away. If you
let it sit in water, it will get too soft. The rice paper will soften as you work with it.
Lay the rice paper on board or plate and layer in
ingredients toward the bottom side closest to you in the middle, leaving a couple of inches clear on either side
of the veggies. Start rolling,
holding the filling in place as you make a tight roll. Roll all the way up and set on serving
dish. Repeat until all ingredients
are used.
Whisk together
sauce ingredients until well combined.
General Tso’s Sauce
3 tablespoons
soy sauce
3 tablespoons
sugar
2 tablespoons
rice wine
Whisk all ingredients together.
Oh my! My mouth started watering as soon as I saw the picture. These look so good!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend making a couple different sauces - they really are delicious.
