Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) Canned tuna
- 1 medium, julienned Carrot
- 1 medium, julienned Cucumber
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup, loosely packed Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 cup, loosely packed Fresh mint leaves
- 4 large, torn in half Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables by julienning the carrot and cucumber and thinly slicing the red bell pepper. Arrange all the prepared vegetables and herbs (cilantro and mint) on a platter for easy access.
Fill a large shallow dish or skillet with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 15-20 seconds or until it becomes soft and pliable. Carefully remove it and place it on a clean, slightly damp surface like a cutting board.
Lay half a lettuce leaf on the lower third of the rice paper wrapper. Add a small amount of the seasoned tuna, followed by a few pieces of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and a sprinkle of cilantro and mint leaves.
To roll, fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Serve the tuna spring rolls immediately as they are, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce.
