summer rolls recipe With Mango and Purple Cabbage Veins
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4–6 servings (12 rolls) 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This summer rolls recipe features vibrant mango and purple cabbage, offering a fresh, healthy, and easy meal perfect for weeknight dinners or fun family assembly. It’s a delightful burst of color and flavor, providing a refreshing alternative to heavier dishes.
Ingredients
- 12 sheets 8.5-inch (22cm) rice paper wrappers
- 1 large ripe mango (firm-ripe)
- 0.5 small head purple cabbage (finely shredded; or use red cabbage)
- 6–8 leaves crisp lettuce (Boston or green leaf)
- 0.25 cup fresh mint (small leaves)
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 large cucumber (julienned)
- 2 medium carrots (julienned)
- 12 large cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined) or 6 oz (170g) firm tofu (pressed, sliced into matchsticks) or grilled chicken breast
Instructions
- Prepare Fillings: Julienne the mango, purple cabbage, cucumber, and carrots into thin strips. Chop lettuce and herbs. Cook and slice your chosen protein, if using. Arrange everything on a large platter, ensuring all vibrant colors are ready for assembly.
- Hydrate Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Quickly dip one rice paper wrapper for 20-30 seconds until it feels pliable but still slightly firm to the touch. Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean, damp surface for assembly.
- Assemble Rolls: About 1 inch (2.5cm) from the bottom edge, arrange lettuce, purple cabbage, carrots, cucumber, mango, and herbs. Add your protein on top, making sure the colorful ingredients show through the wrapper.
- Roll Tightly: Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the fillings, tuck in the sides, then roll tightly from bottom to top, like a burrito. Place seam-side down on a serving platter to prevent unrolling. (If your wrapper tears, it means it was likely too wet; reduce dipping time slightly for the next roll.)
Notes
For quick meal prep, use pre-shredded vegetables or pre-cook protein ahead of time. For lighter rolls, skip the protein and add extra veggies. For spicier rolls, mix a dash of sriracha into fillings or dipping sauce. For kid-friendly options, use milder herbs and let kids pick their favorite fillings. Use gluten-free rice paper wrappers if needed.
