kcalIngredients
For the Spring Rolls
6 rice-paper wrappers
2 cups radish sprouts (1/2 ounce)
1 red beet, trimmed and thinly sliced crosswise
1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
1 cucumber, julienned
1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, julienned
3/4 cup coarsely grated daikon
For the Carrot-Ginger Dipping Sauce
3 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 small shallot, quartered
2 tablespoons coarsely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup rice-wine vinegar (not seasoned)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch each of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
Directions
- Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a blender, combine the chopped carrots, shallot, grated ginger, rice-wine vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, coarse salt, and freshly ground pepper. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, slowly add the vegetable oil and water until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Prepare all your vegetables by julienning the cucumber, red bell pepper, and medium carrot. Thinly slice the red beet and grate the daikon.
- Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice-paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds or until it softens. Carefully transfer it to a clean, damp surface.
- Assemble the Spring Rolls: On the softened rice paper, layer a small handful of radish sprouts, a few slices of red beet, julienned carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and grated daikon. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining rice-paper wrappers and fillings.
- Serve: Arrange the spring rolls on a serving platter and serve with the carrot-ginger dipping sauce on the side.
These Spring Rolls with Carrot-Ginger Dipping Sauce are not only visually stunning but also packed with fresh flavors and healthy ingredients.
