Gỏi cuốn “rice paper rolls”
Gỏi cuốn is a traditional Vietnamese dish consisting of meat, vegetables and herbs wrapped in rice paper.
This version is far from traditional because I have used my own ingredients for the filling that even has a strong Japanese influence. You can easily use any vegetable so this recipe can always be adapted to what’s in the fridge.
This is a very tasty and healthy option for any low calorie meal. Plus they’re super fun to make.
Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Let’s start with the filling.
Using a steamer cook the broccoli, celery stalk and plant-based chicken. Meanwhile grate the carrot, chop the spinach and mince the mint leaves.
Step 2
Once the broccoli, celery and chicken are cooked, leave to cool down, then finely chop.
Step 3
Transfer to a bowl, stir well and add the silk tofu, lemon juice and wasabi powder. The filling is now ready!
Step 4
You will now start filling the rice paper leaves, one by one. This is a very manual job so you can’t do you a batch of rolls at once.
Add water to a plate. Soak a rice paper leaf and turn it using your hands until it gets tender.
Step 5
Add a generous spoon of filling in the middle, then fold, pressing firmly, and roll!
Step 6
Repeat until you have enough rolls or you’ve used all the filling.
Step 7
Serve with fresh lettuce leaves and extra mint leaves.
Step 8
Dip into my nuoc mam sauce!
