Ingredients:
Wraps
-1.25 cups of water
-flour (1 cup)
-corn starch (3 tbs)
-salt (1/4 tsp)
Dipping Sauce:
-peanut butter (1 cup)
-water (1/4 cup)
-maple syrup or honey (1tbs)
-chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes (1/4 tsp)
-lime juice (2tbsp)
-Soy Sauce (2tbsp)
Filling:
(This is interchangeable depending on what you have at home)
-vegetables
(ex. avocado, carrots, cabbage, onion, bell peppers, cucumber)
-thin rice noodles
– fresh herbs
-shrimp or chicken (I usually skip this)
Instructions:
- Cut up all of the ingredients into thin strips and cook any shrimp or meat you plan on using.
- Set aside for later
- Make the wraps. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, salt, cornstarch) in a bowl and whisk together.
- Add water and whisk until all the lumps are out (batter should be thin)
- Use a paper towel to rub oil on a frying pan and turn heat to low
- Add two tablespoons of batter and either tilt the pan around to spread in a circle or use a spoon to make the circle
(Take the pan off the flame every time you put in the batter; it cooks very quickly) - Once the wrap becomes translucent and the edges start lifting up, it’s time to take it out of the pan
- Construct the Rolls. Place the ingredients into the center of the rolls, fold in the sides and package like a burrito.
- Make the Dipping Sauce – by mixing together all of the ingredients until smooth
- Enjoy
They will stay fresh for a few days in the fridge.
