INSTRUCTIONS of Mango Summer Rolls with Ginger-Peanut Sauce
- To make the peanut sauce: whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl until they are combined. If you want a thinner sauce, whip more water.
- To make the spring rolls: cook thin rice vermicelli noodles according to the directions on the package.
- Once they are al dente, transfer the noodles to a colander and rinse with cold water until the noodles are completely refrigerated.
- Mix carefully with a drizzle of oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Put aside. Fill a large, shallow pan with lukewarm water. Put a package of spring rolls in hot water and let it sit for about 20-30 seconds until it is soft, but not mushy.
- Transfer the packaging from the spring roll to the plate (or a clean towel spread on a flat surface, which will help the packaging not stick).
- Place your fillings in the center of the packaging in a vertical line. Fold the top and bottom sides of the package.
- Then fold the left side of the package, tuck in the trim and roll the package to the right until it is sealed.
- Serve immediately with peanut sauce or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
