Rice Paper Wraps
Like a salad –to-go or serve as an appetizer with an Asian meal. Our friend Vui from Whole Foods in Franklin, TN taught us this favorite food of her native home in South Vietnam. Vui said when she was growing up the teenagers would sit around and munch on these in the same way American teens munch on chips and candy.
Imagine your teenagers sitting around a bowl of filtered water, piles of fresh herbs and veggies, making rice paper wraps….try it, they may love it!
Serve with Thai Golden Dragon Sauce for a fabulous Vietnamese or Thai flavor
