Healthy Vietnamese Salad Rolls

These Vietnamese Rice paper rolls will get your taste buds going. Traditionally in Vietnam, they are called goi cuon which means salad rolls and are often filled with vegetables, pork and shrimp. Nowadays, you can really put any combination of flavours you like to customize these salad rolls. Go crazy and try different ingredients.

– 10 rice paper wraps

– 1 cucumber (cut into strips)

– 1 red bell peppers (cut into strips)

– 1 small peeled carrot (cut into strips)

– 5 oz cooked salmon (cut into strips)

– 1 bundle of soba noodles cooked and cooled

– 1 tablespoon sesame oil

– 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

– sesame seed for garnish

– cook soba noodles in boiling water, strain and rinse under cold water to cool

– once the noodles are cooled, toss in sesame oil and soy sauce and set aside

– make sure you have all your ingredients cut and ready to go

– soak 1 sheet of rice paper wrap in a shallow bowl with warm water until it softens

– put soften rice paper onto cutting board and fill with 2 strips of carrot, red pepper and cucumber in the middle of the wrap

– On top of the veggies, place a piece of cooked salmon strip and a couple strands of soba noodles

– tuck both sides of the rice paper wrap and roll tightly together

– repeat until you use up all the filling ingredients

– garnish with sesame seeds

You can make a dipping sauce by simply combining light soy sauce, sesame oil and a little peanut butter together. I like to eat them with a little soy sauce on the side.

These healthy wraps can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge and served as an appetizer for a party. They are healthy, delicious and you can fill them up with whatever your heart contents.
