If you want to cry, bawl

Spring Rolls
12 rice-paper wrappers
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
6 scallions, cut into matchsticks
1 cup bean sprouts
leaves from a bunch of basil
a handful of watercress
1 TBSP sesame seeds, toasted in a dry skillet (peanuts work well, too)
Ginger, to taste

Dipping sauce:
2 TBSP honey
1 TBSP soy sauce
1 TBSP teriyaki sauce
2 TBSP lime juice
1 red chile, thinly sliced

Soak the rice papers in warm water until soft, about 4 minutes.

Gather up little clusters of carrots, scallions, bean sprouts, basil, and watercress and place in the middle of a rice paper.   Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and roll up tightly to enclose the veggies.   Mix the dipping sauce together, and transfer to a small, shallow dish.   Dip the spring rolls and enjoy the blast of flavors through your mouth!


If you have a preference, 
voice it.
If you have a question,
ask it.
If you want 
to cry, bawl.
If you need
help, raise
your hand
and jump up 
and down!
