Summer Rolls


Last night, my little sister and I (Meili) made summer rolls. (That's little sis. Isn't she cute?) They are made with thin rice paper, rice noodles, and all kinds of other yummy fillings. We made two types of roll: a shrimp roll with mint and carrot, and a veggie roll, which included avocado, basil, cucumber and carrot.


The mint and basil came from my backyard garden. Both fragrant herbs threw a flavorful punch!


We also made two dipping sauces: creamy peanut with lime and soy, and spicy hoisin with chili pepper and vinegar.


See that giant roll at the top of the southernmost plate? This is what happens when you try to eat a large roll that was rolled rather loosely:
