Summer Rolls with Ginger Dipping Sauce
Recipe courtesy Danny Boome Ltd, 2007
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 small cucumber, julienned
1/2 cup bean sprouts
4 to 5 scallions, julienned
6 water chestnuts, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
8 (8-inch) rice sheets (plus more in case some tear)
Warm water, for soaking rice sheets

For the dipping sauce:
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
Pinch chopped scallions
Pinch chopped cilantro leaves

In a medium bowl combine the julienned carrot, cucumber, bean sprouts, scallions, water chestnuts, ginger, cilantro, soy sauce and fish sauce. Mix well. Take a rice sheet and dip in warm water. Place it on a clean surface and leave it for a few seconds to soften. Place a spoonful of the mixture in the center of the sheet and fold into a square packet as if you were making a burrito. Repeat with the rest of the rice sheets and mixture.

For dipping sauce:

In a small bowl whisk sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, scallions and cilantro and serve with summer rolls.
