Hiroko Liston

Ingredients

  • Dry Rice Paper
  • Warm to Hot Water
  • Dipping Sauce of your choice *Today I used Hoisin Sauce. Find more Dipping Sauces here
  • Filling
  • Rice Vermicelli *cooked as instructed
  • Vegetables *e.g. Lettuce, Cucumber, Carrot, Daikon, Mint, etc
  • 500 g Beef Steak *at room temperature, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • Yakiniku Sauce of your choice *OR use the sauce below
  • Sauce for Beef
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seeds *lightly ground
  • 1 small piece Ginger *grated
  • 1 clove Garlic *grated
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon Fish Sauce *OR extra Soy Sauce

Directions

  • Prepare the Fillings. Slice all Vegetables into thin strips. Cook Rice Vermicelli as instructed, rinse under cold water, then Drain well. *Note: Sprinkle with some Sesame Oil to stop the noodles stick together.
  • Heat Oil in a frying pan over high heat, cook thinly sliced Beef, and season with Yakiniku Sauce.
  • Arrange all the fillings on a serving plate. Each guest should have their own plate that is larger than Rice Paper. Serve warm to hot Water in a bowl that is large enough to dip Rice Paper.
  • *Note: The Water should be hot enough, but not too hot as you need to safely dip your fingers.
  • When you eat, everyone dips a Rice Paper in the water, then place it on their own plate. Rice Paper will quickly become soft while they are placing fillings on it. Then everyone rolls up their roll and enjoy with/without Dipping Sauce.
