Jerry Springrolls

For all those who asked, the "Jerry Springrolls" recipe came from the ever-famous Canadian sister team of Janet and Greta Podleski, in their cookbook Crazy Plates. These talented ladies also have their own blog. Check them out!

Of course I wasn't lucky enough to find the recipe online, so I had to re-type it.

Dipping Sauce:

3/4 cup of water
2 tsp cornstarch
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp of soy sauce (reduced sodium)
1 tbsp of gingeroot grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

2 oz rice vermicelli noodles
1 cup each grated carrots and chopped bean sprouts
1/2 cup peeled, seeded and chopped cucumber
1/2 chopped green onions and fresh mint leaves
2 tsp sesame oil
14 6-inch rice papers

1. Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly. Remove from heat, let cool to room temperature.

2. Boil vermicelli in a large pot of water for four minutes, until tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Blot dry using paper towels.

3. Coarsely chop noodles and place them in a medium bowl along with carrots, bean sprouts, cucumber, green onions, and mint leaves. Mix well. Add sesame oil and mix again.

4. Fill a mixing bowl with 3 inches of hot water. Keep some boiling water handy to add to the bowl as the water cools. Soak rice papers in hot water for 30 seconds, or until soft. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel, lay wrapper flat and blot dry.

5. Place 1/4 cup filling in center of wrapper. Using your fingers, shape filling into a 3-inch-long cylinder. Fold bottom edge over filling and roll once to enclose. Fold in sides and continue to roll up tightly. Place seam-side down on a plate and cover with a damp towel. Repeat process with remaining wrappers and filling. Keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

6. Serve spring rolls with dipping sauce within 3 hours of making them, otherwise they'll dry out.
(I've actually eaten them the next day and they were totally fine).
