This is perfect lunch or dinner food now that the sun has finally peeked out again. As far as I do, I make summer rolls all year round, but that's probably because I make a valiant attempt to displace winter and snow. Hehe. Have already blogged a similar recipe , but think the summer rolls deserved a brand new blog post with an innovation of a dipping sauce. The fresh avocado germ fits perfectly with the spicy prawns, so this will definitely be a regular feature in this house. Mmmm!

PROCEDURE

For the summer rolls

  1. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin sticks the size of chopsticks.
  2. Cut the cucumber into the corresponding size
  3. Wash the romaine lettuce leaves and set aside.
  4. Finely chop the red cabbage with either a knife or a mandolin.
  5. Spiralize the squash and prepare the bean sprouts.

Avocado cream

  1. Put all the ingredients in a hand mixer and flash until it becomes a smooth sauce. If you want it even more liquid, just regulate with a little more water (or oil). Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a suitable bowl.

The prawns with marinade

  1. Peel the prawns and put in the fridge while you make the marinade.
  2. Finely chop herbs, garlic and chili and mix with lime juice and olive oil. Keep the prawns up and set cold while you go for the rice noodles.

The rice paper rolls

  1. Then cook the rice paper noodles according to the instructions on the package.
  2. When they are done pour off the water and pour over some sesame oil. This is optional, but so good!
  3. Fill a large enough bowl with fairly hot water.
  4. Dip a rice paper in the water for about 5-10 seconds, until it is completely wet and slightly transparent.
  5. Place on the plate and dander the summer rolls.
  6. Place the romaine lettuce leaf in the middle of the rice paper, and as the first "layer", then there is less chance of holes in the rice paper.
  7. Then you fold it like an envelope.
  8. First from the bottom, then the sides, then roll until it sticks together.
  9. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and cut in half.
  10. Serve with avocado cream.
