Looking for a light, raw but satisfying lunch to add to your repertoire? These nori and rice paper veggie rolls are the perfect solution.
Raw Nori + Rice Paper Wraps With Dipping Sauces
Ingredients
Any combination of the following:
- 1⁄2 head red cabbage
- 1 carrot
- 1 small zucchini
- 1/2 cucumber
- 2 kale leaves
- 1 avocado
- basil
- cilantro
- 3-4 nori sheets and/or rice paper sheets
Preparation
1. Cut all the veggies into thin strips (or use a mandolin). Chop the cucumber by hand, tear up the kale leaves and slice the avocado.
2. Nori: Lay your desired fillings on one side of your nori sheet, and on the opposite side spread a little sauce to seal together the ends when you roll it up. Roll everything up tight and set aside.
3. Rice paper: Dip your rice paper sheets in warm water so they soften and become pliable (do this one at a time), then arrange your fillings in the middle. Fold over two ends, then wrap it up like a burrito, making it as tight
as possible. It might take a few tries to get it perfect.
4. Serve with one or all of the sauces below.
Spicy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- chili powder, to taste (optional for kids)
- 1 tablespoon miso
- 2 dates
- juice from 1⁄2 lemon
- 1 small garlic clove
- water, as needed to make it creamy and smooth
Peanut Sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon chunk of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons each of tamari, maple syrup, and lime juice
- chili powder, to taste (optional for kids)
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1⁄3 cup water (more or less as needed)
Tahini Garlic Sauce (a Healthy Mama original)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1 garlic clove (crushed)
- 3 tablespoons of water (add more if needed to desired consistency)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweet chili sauce (optional - if you want sweet - I prefer mine without)
Preparation
Make any (or all) of the sauces by blending all the ingredients together until smooth.
