Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
- 20 rice paper sheets around 22cm wide
- 2 teaspoons oil for greasing
- Warm water for your large bowl
Optional Ingredients For Dish:
- 2 teaspoons oil for cooking garlic
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 4 cloves garlic minced (around 2-4 teaspoons minced garlic)
- 2 teaspoons roasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 stalks green onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons sugar
Instructions
Prepare Rice Paper Noodles:
- Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip each rice paper sheet into the warm water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable. Place it on a clean surface.
Assemble Rice Paper Noodles:
- In the center of each rice paper sheet, place a few rice noodles. Fold the sides over the noodles and then roll tightly from the bottom to form a roll. Repeat for all the rice paper sheets.
Grease and Arrange:
- Lightly grease a plate or tray with oil to prevent the rice paper noodles from sticking. Place the assembled rolls on the plate or tray.
Prepare Optional Ingredients:
- Heat oil in a pan and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add baby bok choy, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Cook until the bok choy is tender-crisp.
Serve:
- Arrange the rice paper noodles on a serving plate. If desired, top the rolls with the sautéed baby bok choy and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Enjoy:
- Serve the rice paper noodles with the optional ingredients as a light and refreshing meal. Drizzle extra soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor. These rice paper noodles are perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner.
Notes
- To give the noodles more flavor, add a tablespoon of sesame oil or chili oil to the pan before adding the vegetables.
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger or garlic to the pan when stir-frying the vegetables.
- To make the dish spicier, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or a teaspoon of chili paste to the pan when adding the sauce.
- To give the noodles a more chewy texture, add a tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot starch to the pan when adding the sauce.
- To give the noodles a crunchy texture, add a tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds to the pan when adding the sauce.
