Vietnamese Vegetable Rice Rolls with Peanut Sauce


 This is a great picnic dish, obviously it is a special one, but just a great way to eat vegetables and the sauce is really fantastic and original. This recipe is from Steamy Kitchen, and seriously I had been wanting to do this recipe since 2013! 

INGREDIENTS 
For the rolls:
-Rice paper wrappers, like 16 or 20.
-About 10 lettuce leaves, soft ones.
-1 cup of sliced carrots.
-2 cucumbers julienned.
-1 avocado in slices.
-1 red pepper in slices.
-1 cup of cilantro leaves.
-1 cup of mint leaves.
-1 cup of basil leaves.
-3 sunny side up fried eggs.

For the peanut sauce:
-1/4 cup of water.
-4 tablespoons of lime juice.
- 5 tablespoons of orange juice.
-1/2 cup of peanut butter.
-1/2 teaspoon of minced ginger.
-1 teaspoon of honey.
-1/2 teaspoon of chopped garlic.
-1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce.
-1 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
-3 drops of almond extract.

STEPS:
1. Julianne the vegetables and have them all ready in bowls. Obviously all ingredients are optional, you just want crunchy vegetables.
2. Prepare the rice paper wrappers, basically you need to dip them in hot water. Dip them and they soften enough, do not dip them in boiling water, it ruins them and you can't work with them.
3. Simply wrap up the vegetables putting a little bit of everything.
4. Create the sauce. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and use hand mixer to blend, it is real good this sauce, peanuty, garlicky, gingery and almondy. It goes amazing.

And just enjoy! This recipe is laborious but worth it.
