Edible Flower Spring Rolls
are a beautiful and delicious party food, or just to spoil yourself and your loved ones. Since they are best when freshly made (or served within 1 or 2 days) I reduced the ingredients by a third for a party of three.
Ingredients
- 2 cups napa cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 carrot ribboned or sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup basil leaves thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp cilantro leaves stems removed
- 1 scallions thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup edible flowers
- 9 spring roll wrappers rice flour wrappers
- 9 tbsp Asian dipping sauce or my dipping sauce recipe
Instructions
- Toss the remaining ingredients gently, excluding the dipping sauce.
- Set up assembly area on a flat work surface; place a clean kitchen towel on the surface.
- To soften the spring roll wrappers: Fill a large pan, (wide enough to lay spring roll wrapper out flat) with a couple of inches of very hot water. Place one spring wrapper into the water, submerging entirely for about 30 seconds until it is slightly soft. It will continue to soften as you add ingredients.
To Assemble:
- Lay wrapper flat; place cabbage, mint, cilantro, basil, carrots, scallions, and edible flowers, leaving about 2 inches uncovered on each side. Fold uncovered sides inward, then roll the wrapper to resemble a burrito. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Serve
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, or make your own with my Asian dipping sauce recipe.
