Crab Summer Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Peel daikon and cut into julienne (thin matchsticks). Transfer to a small bowl.
• Cut carrot into 2-inch lengths, then cut into julienne. Add to daikon and toss with lime juice, sesame oil, and salt to taste.
• Cut cucumber into julienne.
• Purée jalapeño and avocado with vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender, then transfer to a bowl and stir in mayonnaise and tobiko.
• Stir together yuzu juice, soy sauce, and chile oil in a small bowl.
• Soak 2 rice-paper wrappers in a 13-by 9-inch baking dish of warm water until pliable, about 5 seconds. Put 1 soaked wrapper on a damp kitchen towel (not terry cloth), then place other wrapper below the first (closer to you), overlapping them halfway. Put one fourth of crabmeat across lower third of wrapper (nearest you), leaving a 2-inch border at bottom. Spread with 1 1/2 tablespoons avocado mixture and top with one fourth each of carrot mixture, cucumber, and sliced scallion. Fold bottom of wrapper over filling and roll up tightly, putting 2 cilantro sprigs on wrapper halfway through. Make 3 more rolls in same manner (you will have avocado mixture left over).
• Trim ends and cut each roll into 4 pieces. Divide among 8 shallow bowls, standing them up, and top each with a dollop of avocado mixture and a cilantro leaf. Drizzle yuzu sauce around rolls.

Steps:

• Remove meat from crab legs. Slice in thin strips 5 inches long, cover, and refrigerate.
• Cut mango flesh into strips 1/2 inch-by-2 1/2 inches. Cut lettuce leaves in half, discarding center ribs. Trim each scallion into two 5-inch lengths; slice lengthwise into very thin strips.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt and rice vermicelli to boiling water, and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, and rinse in cold water.
• Transfer rice paper to a plastic bag. Place 2 paper towels, one on top of the other, on a work surface; dampen them slightly. Lay a sheet of rice paper on top. Cover with 2 more damp paper towels. Removing 1 sheet of rice paper at a time, repeat until you have 10 layers. Let stand until pliable, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with plastic wrap.
• Across the bottom third of 1 sheet of rice paper place 2 pieces of lettuce; 4 cilantro leaves; 4 mint leaves; 1 piece of crab (if using lump crabmeat, 2 tablespoons); 2 pieces of mango, end to end; and 1/4 cup vermicelli. Cover with 4 strips of scallion, 4 cilantro leaves, and 4 mint leaves. Roll rice paper into a cylinder, stopping halfway. Fold left and right sides into the middle; finish rolling.
• Place on prepared baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate. Repeat entire process, making 10 rolls. To serve, trim ends with a sharp knife and cut the roll into 4 pieces. Serve dipping sauce on the side.
