Salmon Spring Rolls With Coriander Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the spring rolls: Dip a rice paper wrapper into a bowl of warm water, making sure to wet all sides. Remove the softened and pliable rice paper and place on a clean surface. On the side of the wrapper closest to you add some salmon, cabbage cilantro, carrots and cucumbers. Fold the ends of the rice wrapper over the filling. Tuck the edge closest to you over the filling and continue to roll until it's closed and snug. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
• For the sauce: In small bowl mix together 2 tablespoons water, the miso paste, vinegar, honey and sesame oil and stir well to combine.
• Serve the spring rolls immediately with the sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Bring a quart of water to boil in a saucepan. Turn off heat and submerge vermicelli noodles in water. Soak for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Rinse with cold water in colander, and drain.
• Fill a pie pan or pot that is wider than 8" in diameter with hot water. Carefully remove one rice paper wrapper from the package and submerge it in this water. Let it soak until it's soft. For easier handling, allow parts of the sheet to remain a little bit stiff (some of the hatch marks that are in the design of most rice papers can still be visible). Remove from water very carefully.
• Place the rice paper wrapper on a smooth, dry surface. Surface should be ceramic, plastic or glass - Rice paper wrappers can stick to wooden surfaces. Take 1/5 of noodles and arrange lengthwise 1 inch from the bottom of wrapper. Leave 1-2 inches of the wrapper uncovered on the sides, as well.
• Add mint, cilantro or basil, lettuce, and 1/5 of the flaked salmon as separate layers on top of the vermicelli. Pull the bottom edge of the wrapper up to cover the filling. Now fold both sides of the wrapper up to cover the edges. Continue rolling, tucking the filling in towards you with your fingers and roll tightly so that the roll remains firm (but not so tightly that you rip the rice paper!).
• Carefully move spring roll to cutting board and cut in half with a sharp, serrated knife.
• Repeat steps with the remainder of the ingredients until all the rolls are assembled. Serve with a sweet and spicy peanut dipping sauce.
• A note about the rice paper sheets - As another RecipeZaar chef pointed out, it's important to make sure to get rice spring roll papers. These are not the same as eggroll or wonton wrappers. You can find them in Asian markets or online.
