Summer Rolls!

summer rolls


I love the beauty and freshness of summer rolls. My sister has been coming over weekly to help make them with me (she is a natural at making them pretty :). I'm testing different combinations, trying to make a perfect blend of ingredients that I will stick with. I know it's not authentic but I have been tossing the rice noodles with some soy sauce and sesame oil before they go in the summer roll. I just want them being a little more flavorful on their own.
Has anyone else made them? Any other suggestions for me?

Mm, they look good..!!
I make them sometimes, vegetarian or with shrimp now that I eat fish/seafood again. My mom made some very good ones when I visited her last week. They were with glassnoodles, avocado, shrimp(or tofu), chopped chili, cilantro, scallion etc.
+ a very good dipsauce; ricevinegar(a lot), sugar, chopped cilantro, sambal oelek, roasted and chopped peanuts.

Your rolls look so delicious. We eat these a lot here and roll them straight off the table ( a very clean one) so no plates to wash!!
A favorite of ours is a lemongrass beef we make and then slice it thinly, adding bean sprouts, omlette, carrot,and cucumber all rolled in one.
An easy dipping sauce is made with fish sauce, chilli, and lime juice.
enjoy your summer rolls

We used to get some that had a bit of licorice-y herb in them along with cilantro -- I'm not a fan of licorice generally, but it made for an interesting flavor.

I may to have borrow your sister!

Like the slice of summer photos above. I love our wild afternoon weather.
