Vietnamese Tuna Roll
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice vermicelli
- 2 spring onions
- 1 cucumber, quatered and thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated
- 2 sprigs coriander, coarsely chopped
- Butterhead lettuce, stems removed
- 12 sheets rice paper
Peanut Sauce:
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup Ayam™ Hoisin Sauce
- ½ cup peanut butter crunchy
- 3 tbsp sugar
- ½ cup peanuts, grounded
- 2 tbsp garlic chopped
- 1 can Ayam Brand™ Tuna Chunks in Mineral Wate 185g
Preparation:
- First soaking the rice noodles in cold water for 20 minutes and at the same time put a pot of water to boil on the stove.
- Once the water is boiling, blanch the noodles in the boiling water then immediately rinse under cold water and strain. This will help to keep the noodles bouncy and springy.
- Prepare a bowl of water with ice cubes and keep on the side.
- Then blanch the spring onion for a short while only in the same hot water.
- Remove and soak them in ice water and drain.
- Place them on a kitchen paper towel to absorb the water.
- Chop and mix the spring onion with the tuna.
Filling The Roll
- Take two sheets of rice paper at a time and lay it flat on a big plate or tray. Sprinkle with water using your fingers and once the rice paper has softened, place a piece of lettuce on one side of the paper nearest to us.
- Put a piece of Ayam Brand tuna on the lettuce, following here by a small clump of noodle, some cucumber and carrot shreds on top.
- Then fold the bottom paper and over the filling, fold in the right and left sides.
- Roll the wrapper so that it is 2/3 rolled. It will come easy with a bit of practice.
- You can place a strip of spring onion as well to make it a handle.
- Place coriander leaf on top of the roll: this will appear like a little design on the finished roll. Roll again until the edges are sealed.
- Place the finished roll on a plate and cover with damp towel.
Preparing Sauce
- To make the peanut sauce, combine all the ingredients (1/2 cup water, hoi sin sauce, sugar, peanuts, garlic) until well mixed.
- Roast the peanuts to give extra flavors if you like.
Presentation
- Decorate a big plate with cucumber, carrot, fresh coriander and lettuce leaves.
- Place our peanut sauce in Chinese spoons and place spring rolls on top of the spoons. Put now these spoons on the decorated plate.
