Cool Ham Rolls With Peanut Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 lb cooked ham, cut into 2-inch-long julienne strips (1 cup)
    1 cup daikon radishes or 1 cup jicama, peeled and shredded, moisture squeezed out
    2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
    1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
    8 sheets round rice paper (6 1/2- or 8 1/2-in. size)
    8 large romaine lettuce leaves, spears (optional)
    8 fresh cilantro stems
    Peanut Sauce
    3 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
    1 tablespoon water
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 tablespoon salad oil
    1 tablespoon vinegar
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Preparation
    Stir together all sauce ingredients with a wire whisk. (Alternatively, you can use your favorite sauce!).
    In another bowl, mix together ham, daikon, cilantro, and green onion.
    Brush both sides of rice paper with water; let stand until soft and pliable, about one minute.
    About one inch from one side, place about 1/3 cup of the ham mixture in a band across the rice paper; roll up tightly to enclose. (Cover and chill up to 4 hours, if done ahead.)
    To eat, place a roll on a romaine spear, garnish with a cilantro sprig, and spoon peanut sauce over top.
