Fresh Kohlrabi Spring Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 kohlrabi, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • 2-4 green onions, dark green part only cut into 2-3" pieces
  • several basil leaves
  • 6-10 leaves of head lettuce, rinsed
  • cooked tofu, chicken, or shrimp (optional)
  • 6-10 rice wraps

Instructions

  1. If you plan on making dipping sauce(s), do so now.

  2. Assemble the veg/herbs on to a plate. Place on table with dipping sauces - your almost ready to go!

  3. Boil a kettle of water. Once boiled, pour water into a large shallow dish, such as a pie plate. Place this on the table. This is an assemble and eat-as-you go affair. Which is fun! (If you prefer you can assemble wraps ahead of time and serve on a platter).

  4. To make a fresh spring roll, take a wrap and place it in the boiled water (while it's still piping hot). Be careful not to burn yourself! I usually put most of it in, and then gingerly rotate it. Keep the wrap in the hot water for several second, until softened, but not soggy.

  5. Lay out softened rice wrap and fill as your heart desires with various veg and herbs! There are many ways to then roll it, but I cluster all my ingredients vertically in the centre, then I fold up the bottom and top and roll from the side. If you're not sure how to do it, there are lots of great videos out there!

  6. Enjoy dipped into dipping sauces of your choice.
