Ingredients
8 eggs
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
Salt and pepper
Olive oil
1 cup fresh mint
1/2 cup fresh basil
2 carrots, shredded
1 cup shredded jicama
1 cup pea sprouts
1 cup julienne red and yellow bell pepper
1 cup julienne cucumber
1 cup diced firm tofu
Spicy pumpkinseed and cilantro dipping sauce:
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 piece star anise
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup toasted pumpkinseeds
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon sambal chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Whisk the eggs with the flour, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. Let mixture rest for 10 minutes, until foam settles. Put the egg mixture in a squeeze bottle.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium low heat and brush with olive oil. Drizzle the egg mixture in the pan in a zig-zag motion to create a lace pattern. Cook for approximately 1 minute, and set aside. Repeat with remaining batter.
- To assemble the rolls, lay a crepe on a flat surface. Place mint and basil leaves on crepe. Arrange the vegetables and tofu on the crepe and start rolling the crepe into a cylinder. Cover each roll with plastic wrap to keep moist while making the rest of the rolls.
- To make the dipping sauce, combine the vinegar, star anise, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until it reaches syrup consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Blend the pumpkinseeds, cilantro, sambal chili, and vinegar syrup in the blender until thick. Season with salt.
- To serve, place vegetable lace crepe on a plate, and drizzle sauce around plate. Serve fruits as a light refreshing side.
