Strawberry Lychee Spring Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• For the rolls: Put the noodles in a medium bowl and add the honey and the mint. Using 2 forks, toss the ingredients together until the noodles are coated. Lay a damp kitchen or paper towel on a work surface. Soak a rice paper round in warm water for 20 to 30 seconds until softened. Put the rice paper on the damp towel. Add 1/4 cup of the noodle mixture in the center of the rice paper and form into a 3 by 2-inch rectangle. Using a paring knife, slice a strawberry lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange the slices over the noodle mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon almonds on top. Arrange 2 to 3 mango slices on top of the almonds. Roll the rice paper around the filling and seal the ends with a little water. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Wrap the finished spring rolls in damp paper towels and store in the refrigerator.
• For the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mint, honey and lime juice. Pour into a serving bowl.
• Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and serve with the dipping sauce.
• Cook's Note: To toast the almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until lightly toasted, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely before using.

Steps:

• Make the Strawberry Lemonade Dip: Add the Greek yogurt, strawberries, mint, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Transfer the dip to a small bowl and garnish with more lemon zest. Chill in the fridge while you assemble the rolls.
• Fill a medium shallow bowl with warm water and set near your work station.
• Dip a rice paper wrapper in the warm water for a few seconds, submerging completely. Remove and lay flat on a smooth, clean surface, such as a plate.
• Add your desired combination of sliced kiwi, sliced strawberries, sliced mango, raspberries, and sliced green apple to the middle of the wrapper. Be careful not to overfill, or rolling it will become difficult.
• Working quickly, before the rice paper dries out, fold both sides of the rice paper over the fruit to secure.
• Lift the bottom edge of the rice paper and carefully fold it over the top of the fruit, tucking it under on the other side, then gently roll until the fruit is completely covered and the top edge of the wrapper adheres to the spring roll. Repeat with the other ingredients.
• Set the spring roll aside and cover with a damp paper towel to keep fresh while you repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Serve with the chilled dip.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2. Toss 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the cornstarch with the lychees and strawberries in a large bowl until combined.
• 3. Mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl.
• 4. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a work surface with a corner pointing toward you and brush the surface lightly with melted butter.
• 5. Put 1 heaping tablespoon of the lychee mixture into the center of the wrapper.
• 6. Bring the two side corners together so they meet over the filling.
• 7. Bring the bottom corner up over the filling and roll the wrapper tightly around the fruit.
• 8. Set the spring roll on the baking sheet with the exposed corner down; continue rolling with the remaining fruit and wrappers.
• 9. Brush butter all over the surface of the rolls and sprinkle each with a little of the cinnamon sugar.
• 10. Bake until light golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
• 11. Do not overbake - the fruit will begin to break down as it cooks and can ooze out of the wrappers.
• 12. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving with a scoop of ice cream alongside.

Steps:

• Put the lychee liquid in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency (about 1/2 cup), 8 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Combine the lychees, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, salt and cooled lychee syrup in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl; you should have about 5 cups. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
• Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions until the consistency of soft serve. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

Steps:

• Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface with the corner pointed toward you. Lightly brush the center of the wrapper with maple syrup. Lay a slice of mango across the wrapper from corner to corner. Fold in the side corners of the wrapper toward the middle, fold up the bottom corner and then roll up. Seal the top of the wrapper by brushing some of the cornstarch mixture along the edges of the wrapper to help seal. Put onto a plate seam-side down while preparing the remaining spring rolls.
• Heat a wok or small skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the rolls a few at a time and shallow fry, turning them as they become golden brown; do not fry too many at one time and overcrowd the wok. Remove from the wok and drain on paper towels. Repeat with all of the rolls.
• Brush the fried rolls with honey and roll in toasted coconut. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Steps:

• Generously grease a 9-inch (23 cm) cast iron or cake pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If hotter, allow to cool slightly.
• Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let sit for 1 minute.
• Add 4 cups (500 grams) of all-purpose flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
• Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size. Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95 grams) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
• Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, about ½ cup (60 grams), until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
• Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½-inch (12 mm) thick.
• In a small bowl combine the strawberry preserves and butter, stir to combine.
• Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled out dough, leave about 1½ inches (4 cm) from the edge.
• Starting from the bottom roll the dough upward, being careful not to squeeze the filling out.
• With a knife cut the rolled dough into 8 pieces.
• Place strawberry roll in the prepared cast iron or cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and leave to rise for 30 minutes. The strawberry rolls should expand to the edges of the pan during this time.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Cover the rolls with foil to prevent the outside from burning, and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
• While the strawberry rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, butter, vanilla, whole milk, and powdered sugar, until smooth.
• Remove the strawberry rolls from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Once cool, drizzle frosting over the rolls before serving.
• Enjoy!
