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.
