Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thinly sliced deli ham
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumber and carrot. Cut them into thin matchstick-sized strips, about 3-4 inches long.
Lay one slice of ham flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese (approximately 1 teaspoon) across the center of the slice.
Place a few strips of cucumber, carrot, and a small sprig of cilantro onto the cream cheese layer, leaving a little space at the edges.
Gently roll the ham slice around the vegetables, starting from one end and rolling tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Repeat the process with the remaining ham slices and vegetables until all the rolls are assembled.
To make the peanut sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a little more water if needed.
Transfer the ham rolls to a serving platter and drizzle the peanut sauce over the top or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top of the rolls as a garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cool Ham Rolls with Peanut Sauce!
