Sunday supper is often the one meal that the monkey clan gather together around the dining table after a busy week/end, to recharge with delicious foods and love. We recently got into setting our ingredients out and having everyone make their own summer rolls. Not only is this quick to prepare, each person gets to be creative with what and how they eat their rolls.
Summer Roll
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 packet of rice paper
- 4 servings of rice stick noodles, cooked according to instruction on package
- Thai basil
- 2 carrots, juilienned
- 1 cucumber, juilienned
- 0.5lb green beans, cooked
- 0.5lb ground pork, sauteed with garlic and season to taste
- 1 dozen cooked shrimp
- and just whatever you like to eat in a roll!
Steps:
- Soften the rice paper in warm water for 5 seconds
- Pick up as shown, in one swift motion, taking care that the rice paper do not stick together
- Add any ingredients you like and roll; Plumster only likes to have hers with cucumber, carrots and green beans
- Voila! Enjoy!

I will definitely try this recipe with my family. looks easy and delicious!
Even if the kids are long gone, I still always make food on Sunday night – just before all my favorite tv shows start! (so I don’t get funny cravings in the middle of them)
:). Homemade food with favorite tv show is a great closure to a weekend and a wonderful beginning to a new week!
This is such a great post…first just the talent you show within this post (photography, cooking and writing), and then this looks so good as well. Cheers for Vietnamese food tonight for me :-) thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much, Dalo 2013! I think if I can only have one food to eat for the rest of my food, Vietnamese food will be high up there :)
I must agree, in a sense I think it is a very under-rated cuisine. :-)
