Build Your Own Rice Paper Wrappers Recipes

BUILD YOUR OWN RICE PAPER WRAPPERS

Steps:

• Arrange the shredded lettuce or bok choy in the centre of a large serving platter, board or tray.
• Place the carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts, spinach, mango, mushrooms, peanuts, herbs, shrimp and chicken in individual piles or bowls around the lettuce or bok choy.
• Place a small, damp terry cloth towel on each serving plate to make the rolling of the wrapper a little easier- your guest can also use it to wipe their fingers as they build their personal rice paper wrappers.
• Fill a medium-sized clean bowl with warm water in which you and your guests can dip the rice paper for 2 to 3 seconds until soft and limp.
• Gently remove and place the rice paper onto a damp terry cloth towel on your serving plate.
• Fill your rice paper wrapper with your choice of ingredients.
• Fold in the ends and roll.
• The key is not to overfill each wrapper.
• Serve a choice of dips such as Garlic Dipping Sauce (#72050), Ginger Sauce (#72051) , sweet and sour, or hot chilli dips.

WONTON WRAPPERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the water.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the mixture and slowly pour in the egg and water. Mix well. If the mixture is too dry, increase the amount of water one teaspoon at a time until a pliable dough has formed.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until elastic. Cut dough into two separate balls. Cover the balls with a damp cloth for a minimum of 10 minutes.
• Cut each ball into four equal pieces. Roll the pieces into 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch squares. Cut each into nine 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch squares. Use in any recipe that calls for wonton wrappers.
