• Chicken Summer Vietnamese Rolls

    Summer Vietnamese Rolls are not like spring rolls, these are made with special translucent rice wrapper and usually served with a peanut sauce. With these wrappers, you can put anything in it. When don't feel like cooking and need an easy fixer-upper, I just make wrapper up some rice topped with rice seasoning that you can get at the Asian food store and some oyster sauce. Yum! This version strays from the tradition summer roll. Feel free to put your own twist on it! 


    Ingredients:

    • 2 skinless chicken breast
    • 2 stalks of bok choy; chopped
    • 1/4 lb of string beans; chopped 
    • 2 gloves of garlic
    • rice paper wrappers 
    • salt and pepper
    • sesame seeds
    • cooked Jasmine rice 
    • oyster sauce

    1. Boil the chicken breast until cooked throughly. 
    2. Take out the boiled chicken and chop it into smaller pieces.
    3. In a pan, sauté the garlic and chicken until brown. Add salt and pepper, but not too much salt because the oyster, you will add later on when you assemble your rolls, will add the saltiness.
    4. Add in the bok choy and string beans are cooked. Then add some sesame seeds. 
    5. Fill a shallow plate with warm water. Place one of the rice wrappers into the water for a few secs. It's take about like 15 seconds to get it soft. Don't leave it in the water too long because the softer the wrapper is, the harder it becomes to work with it. 
    6. Lay the wrapper flat working surface; Add a tablespoon of rice, a tablespoon of the chicken mixture right next to it and pour a little bit of the oyster sauce on top of the rice. 
    7. Now it's time to wrap! Grab the side ld of wrapper and fold it towards the middle. This will keep the yum yums from falling out. Then take the bottom side and start rolling everything. 
    If you had never made spring rolls before, it can be tricky rolling so; if you don't get it the first try it's okay. Practice makes perfect.
    8. Continue rolling up these goodies until all the mixture is gone. 

    Hope you have fun making it! Lemme know how you like it!
