vegan summer rolls

Since visiting Bali, I've been in love with the simplicity and freshness of summer rolls. Every menu has them and they are all delicious! The tropical heat may be responsible for the deliciousness of these rolls, but I've eaten my weight in them. My goal was to learn how to make them myself, so I chose to share this recipe from my new cookbook for vegan summer roll.

It's great to have a change of pace. Most of my recipes are brown, so I like the idea of a greener version. You can fill vegan summer rolls however you like. Add some tofu strips if you'd like to increase the protein content. Wait until you taste the creamy green curry sauce. It's fantastic!

Don't you know that my second cookbook Hot for Food All Day has been a bestseller? You should check out the sequel to Vegan Comfort Classics if you haven't already. Over 100 vegan recipes are included, as well as ways to improve leftovers. Think RECIPE! But in printed form! In addition to the all-green rolls, I also love my egg yolk sauce, my fried artichoke sandwich, and classic onion dip. Download your copy by clicking here.

What you need

To make green curry dipping Sauce

  • Green curry paste
  • Coconut cream or full-fat milk
  • cilantro
  • You can also find out more about the following:
  • Lime juice
  • Rice vinegar seasoned
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Chili flakes

Vegan Summer Rolls

  • Rice paper sheets
  • Green vegetables of your choice: avocado, snap peas (green), cucumber, mint or basil.

How to make Summer Rolls

It won't take long to make the green curry dipping sauce. Simply blend and heat until slightly thickened. You can make it in advance. It takes some practice to roll them. It doesn't matter if you don't get it right the first time. The end result will still be delicious. Don't worry about being perfect!

Blend all ingredients for the dipping sauce in a blender.

Heat the sauce until it simmers. Reduce until it is slightly thickened.

Place tepid (not hot) water on a large platter. One rice paper sheet should be soaked at a time. When removed from water, it should still be soft but retain its shape.

Fill the middle of the sheet with vegetables. Place the sheet on a clean, dry surface.

Roll the side closest to you, and tuck it under the filling. Roll away from you and tuck each side.

Serve immediately with sauce on a large plate, if desired.

Summer rolls can be stored in a variety of ways.

The rice paper sheets of these vegan summer rolls are soft when they are freshly prepared. The rice paper becomes quite hard when they are kept in the refrigerator and is not as enjoyable to bite into. Imagine eating cold rice straight from the fridge, without first heating it up. That would be a bad idea! I'd make them as fresh as possible and eat them the same day. You can store leftovers in the fridge, but I recommend letting them sit for a few minutes before eating so that the paper softens. These are fresh vegetables, so I wouldn't microwave them.

The green curry sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to seven days. It is then easily reheated using a microwave. Warming the sauce can help you eat cold summer rolls, as the heat will soften the texture of each bite.

Prep Time 30 Minutes
Cook Time 5 Minutes

Author Lauren Toyota

Ingredients

Green curry dipping sauce (makes approximately 3/4 cup)

  • 1/2 C canned coconut cream
  • C tightly packaged fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoon green curry paste
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoon lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • pinch chili flakes (optional)

Vegan Summer Rolls

  • 10 dried rice paper sheets
  • 5 large green leaf lettuce leaves (ribs removed, torn in half)
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • English Cucumber, ribboned using a peeler
  • 1 1/2 C sugar snap peas
  • 1 1/2 C packed microgreens or sprouts
  • 1 1/2 C fresh mint leaves
  • 1 1/2 C fresh basil leaves
  • 1 1/2 C fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • In a powerful blender, add the coconut cream, cilantro and green curry paste. Also, add lime juice, vinegar sugar, salt, chili flakes, sea salt. Blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a small pan and simmer it for 2 to 4 mins, or until it is slightly thicker.
  • Fill a shallow, wide dish with water that is tepid. This will allow you to soak the entire sheet. One rice paper sheet should be soaked for 10-20 seconds. The crosshatch pattern should still be visible on the surface. Do not over-soak the rice sheets or they will become too soft to roll.
  • Assemble each roll one by one. Place the rice paper sheet wet on a flat surface. Divide the microgreens and sprouts among the sheets and add a piece lettuce. Roll the one side of rice paper over the filling. Tuck it in while rolling and fold the sides. Continue rolling until the rice paper is completely sealed. You can place the rolled up paper on a plate, or even cut it in half.
  • Serve with green curry sauce. Refrigeration will make the dipping sauce thicker. To thin it out, add a teaspoon at a time of water until you reach a dippable consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are supplements necessary for a plant-based diet or are they optional?

While a healthy, balanced plant-based diet can provide all necessary nutrients for good health and well-being, you should supplement with certain micronutrients to correct any potential deficiencies. Vitamin B12, which is important for cognitive and nervous system health, is typically only found in animals. Supplemental forms of this vitamin might be helpful to vegetarians and vegans. Iron and zinc are important minerals for healthy metabolism and red blood cell production, tissue development, and repair. Omega 3 fatty acids also play an essential role in normal body processes, such as controlling inflammation and proper brain function. Because of their biochemical nature, many plant-based foods don't contain enough omega-3s. Supplementation could help restore the delicate balance. Calcium is essential for strong bones. However, it can be found in small amounts through foods like broccoli and kale. If you are struggling to meet your daily calcium needs from food, you might consider supplementation. Before you start taking any new supplements, it is a good idea to double-check with your doctor.


Is it possible to sustain a plant-based diet?

Plant-based diets are becoming increasingly popular for their health and environmental benefits. Plant-based food is generally more sustainable than food derived from animal resources. This is because it produces less greenhouse gases and causes less pollution. Because plants are grown with less inputs than animal products, a plant-based diet uses less water and other resources. Additionally, animals raised for profit often require large amounts water, land, or fossil fuel resources. Global warming has been linked to some environmental effects of livestock farming. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the carbon footprint of individuals by including more plant-based meals in one's weekly meal plan. This will help support more sustainable, healthier practices.


What happens if I stop eating meat?

Your body will undergo many changes when you stop eating meat. You may experience a higher intake of fiber and lower levels of saturated fat when you switch from meat to plant-based proteins, such as beans, legumes, nuts, whole grain, and soy-based foods. This change can improve heart health and benefit overall digestive health. In addition, this will result in a greater energy level and a better digestion. The ability to reduce stress hormones caused by excessive animal protein consumption may make your moods more stable. Switching to a plant based diet is a popular way to fight environmental damage caused factory farming.


What are some fantastic sources of protein that can be found in a plant-based lifestyle?

There are many great sources of protein in a plant-based diet. Many of these plant-based protein sources also provide fiber, as well as essential micronutrients like vitamins. A plant-based diet may include omega-3 fatty oils such as flaxseeds (chia seeds), walnuts, hemp seeds and chia seed.


Can I eat chicken while following a plant-based lifestyle?

You cannot eat chicken if you follow a plant-based lifestyle. A plant-based diet prohibits the consumption of all animal products, such as poultry and fish. There are many vegan alternatives to meat-centric dishes that offer the same taste and texture, but they don't use animal products. Tofu, seitan (wheat flour), tempeh, fermented soybeans, and mock duck made of mushrooms can all mimic traditional meats. Vegetarian hamburgers made with black beans or quinoa can also be as good as beef burgers. Tofu mayo; coconut bacon strips or eggplant bacon bits; vegetable hot dogs made with seasoned texture soy protein; faux chicken strips of wheat gluten are all tasty alternatives.


Statistics

  • In the United States, poor-quality diet is the most significant predictor of early death, according to an article published in the May 2017 Journal of Geriatric Cardiology. (everydayhealth.com)
  • Another found that following a diet rich in plant foods and lower in animal foods was associated with a 16 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 31 to 32 percent lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease. (everydayhealth.com)

How To

How do I meal prep for a plant based diet?

Plant-based meal prepping prepares nutritious and balanced vegan meals ahead of time to make cooking streamlined and efficient. It requires some planning and preparation, but it can help save you time while promoting healthy eating habits. It is easier to follow a plant-based diet by prepping meals ahead of time. The food will be ready for you when you are hungry. Additionally, it makes it easy to have more time for relaxation and exercise by not having a need to cook every day.

The key to successful plant-based meal prepping is prioritizing variety and emphasizing whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes. You can get better nutrition by choosing different ingredients with different colors. For example, you could use spinach for greens, orange/red carrots for orange/reds, or brown rice to make complex carbohydrates. Each meal should contain a balance of fiber, protein, and some fats, depending on the person's needs.

Consider using a multi-cooker and slow cooker to maximize your meal prep efficiency.

Preparing meals for a plant-based diet is easy with a few simple steps. You can start by making a grocery store list of the recipes you will be using. To get fresh produce and other quality items, you should shop at local farmers' market or health food shops if possible. The next step is to plan enough time to prepare the food. This option allows you to save time and effort while still getting great results. Food stays fresher longer if it's stored properly.

Plant-based meal planning allows for healthy eating, regardless of how busy one is. People will achieve their nutritional goals quicker if they can take the guesswork out.
