1 ripe mango (use the sides of the seed and 1 cheek for the dip)
1 avocado
1 cucumber
1 yellow zucchini
1 bunch of coriander
1 bunch of mint
1 bunch of perilla leaves (optional)
1 red capsicum
fermented carrots (optional, see recipe here)
1 packet of rice paper (check it doesn't contain gluten / wheat)
For the Dip (makes 1 cup):
approx 200gms mango ( 1 cheek and the sides of the peeled mango, if it weighs a little less or more, that is ok, just adjust the lime and fish sauce to taste)
½ cup chopped coriander including stems or any other preferred herb like basil
3 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp fish sauce (For the best taste use Red Boat brand with no added nasties - buy on Amazon) to keep this Vegan friendly, leave out the fish sauce and add some salt to taste
Optional - fresh chilli
Instructions
Wash and spin dry the lettuce and all the herbs, set aside an a serving plate
Peel the mango, slice off 1 cheek and the sides of the seed, chop into pieces, place into blender or magic bullet and set aside
Cut the other mango cheek into strips not more than 1 cm thick (less than half an inch)
halve the avocado, remove the pit, peel and cut into strips (if the avocado is too mushy, don't peel and just slice with the skin on and only peel the skin off when you add it to the roll)
Cut the cucumber into thin strips about 0.5cm (about ¼ inch)
Cut the red capsicum into thin strips the same size as the cucumber
Spiralise the yellow zucchini to make noodles which replaces the vermicelli noodles frequently used in rice paper rolls (thin or thick is up to you) if you don't have a spiraliser you can hand cut them into thin strips, use a mandolin or get one here on Amazon)
Make the dip by adding ¼ chopped coriander, 3 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp fish sauce and optional chilli to the mango in the blender or magic bullet, process until smooth
Assemble the veggies and herbs on a serving platter for guests to wrap their own or prewrap your rolls as below
Fill a large bowl with warm water
Dip the rice paper into the water quickly and wet the entire rice paper, set on a plate. The rice paper will still be hard. Do not soak the rice paper in the water until soft, this will make it way to mushy to work with, by the time you add all your fillings it will be soft
Place your fillings just below the centre of the rice paper firstly with a small piece of lettuce, some herbs, zoodles (zucchini noodles), a strip of each veggie and a strip of mango
Fold up the bottom of the rice paper then the sides, start rolling keeping the veggies firmly into place
Repeat until all the fillings or rice paper has been used up
Serve up the rolls with the Mango Coriander Dip
Store any uneaten summer rice paper rolls in a glass container in the fridge for later
