For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

For the Rolls:

• 150 grams peeled, seeded, and julienned papaya(about 150 grams)
• 100 grams peeled and julienned carrots
• 100 grams peeled and julienned cucumber
• 50 grams julienned red bell pepper

For the Dipping Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 small minced garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Procedure:

• Fill a shallow dish or large plate with warm water.
• Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5-10 seconds until it becomes pliable but not too soft. Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface.
• Place a small amount of papaya, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, mint leaves, and cilantro in the center of the rice paper wrapper.
• Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a tight roll.
• Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame seeds.
• Arrange the papaya salad rolls on a serving platter. Serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
