preparation
- Prepare the glass noodles for the summer rolls according to the package instructions. Wash and dry herbs. Pluck off the leaves. Wash and pat dry the cabbage. Wash the sprouts and also pat or spin dry. Wash the red cabbage, clean and cut into very fine strips with a sharp knife or chop with a kitchen knife.
- Clean the mushrooms with a vegetable brush or kitchen paper and cut into fine strips. Wash chicken, pat dry and cut into thin strips. Heat some sesame oil in a pan and fry the meat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sauté briefly. Salt. For the tofu variant, cut it into small pieces and fry until crisp. Season with some soy sauce and rice syrup.
- For the soy dip, toast the sesame seeds in a hot pan and allow to cool slightly. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Mix in the sesame seeds and the remaining ingredients. Mix all the ingredients for the chili sauce and dilute with a little water if necessary.
- Place the rice paper sheets individually in a bowl of warm water and then place them with a tea towel. Top each with 1 savoy cabbage leaf and then add all the other ingredients proportionally. Then carefully roll everything up and possibly fix with skewers. Serve with the dips.
