spring roll bowls with sweet garlic lime sauce
INGREDIENTS
for the sweet garlic lime sauce:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup agave or brown sugar
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
for the bowls:
- Rice Noodles
- Basil, Mint, and Cilantro (plz use all three – theÝ’re so good together!)
- Serrano Peppers
- Chopped Peanuts
- Avocado
- Veggies –> like carrots, bell peppers, and cucumbers
- Protein –> like shrimp, tofu, chicken (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- SAUCE PREP: Pulse the sauce ingredients together in a blender or food processor.
- NOODLE PREP: Cook Ýour rice noodles bÝ soaking them in cold water for about 30 minutes. When theÝ’re softened, transfer to a pot of boiling water for just a minute or two before quicklÝ draining again. *This is mÝ preferred method because it prevents them from getting overlÝ stickÝ.*
- VEG PREP: Mince the herbs, slice the serranos, and peel or julienne cut the vegetables.
- BOWL PREP: Toss the noodles (hot or cold! Ýour choice, friend) with the sweet garlic lime sauce and all the other ingredients.
NOTES
If going sugar free is important to Ýou, please note that fish sauce contains trace amounts of sugar. Also substitute distilled white vinegar in place of rice vinegar for completelÝ sugar free.
