Summer Rolls

May 3, 2011 by gracefulfitness 14 Comments

Winter food is good stuff.

I am actually quite passionate about soup.

Nothing says “comfort” to me like a tray of roasted root veggies.

Lasagna’s cozy.

Despite all that, summer makes my belly purr with content.  I love the freshness and lightness of summer food.  Salads and grilled fish, yogurt and berries, simple sandwiches.

And Summer Rolls.

I gathered all the veg from the fridge, grilled some tofu, wet the rice wrappers, whisked a few sauces and out came a fresh and flavorful meal.

In the roll

  • thin stripes of cucumber and carrot
  • alfalfa sprouts
  • lots of mint
  • butter-crunch lettuce
  • grilled tofu marinated in sesame oil and soy sauce
Rice paper can be purchased at an Asian grocery and many urban grocery stores.
Peanut Dipping Sauce
  • natural salted chunky peanut butter
  • soy sauce
  • rice vinegar
  • honey
  • chili flakes
  • hot water
Put a few spoonfuls of peanut butter into a bowl, add a few shakes of vinegar and soy sauce, a teaspoon or two of honey, a pinch of chili flakes, and a few tablespoons of water.  Whisk until smooth.  Taste.  Adjust flavor/consistency to suit your fancy.
Miso-Chili Dipping Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons miso
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper jelly
  • rice vinegar
  • hot water
Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl, adjust water to reach desired consistency.
Serve with Summer Rolls and beverage of choice.
