Kiwifruit Summer Rolls

This refreshing roll packs a lot of health within its wrapper: Kiwifruit provides vitamin C; savory peanuts are rich with B vitamins, vitamin E, and healthy monounsaturated fat; fresh mint leaves soothe the digestive tract. Look for the noodles and wrappers in the Asian foods section of your grocery store.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

2 ounces thin rice noodles
1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
8 round spring roll wrappers (8-inch)
4 kiwifruit, sliced in half lengthwise, peeled (page 39), and thinly sliced crosswise
1/3 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook noodles in a pot of boiling water until tender, according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cool water; pat dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss noodles with mint and 1 tablespoon honey.

    Step 2

    For the dipping sauce, whisk remaining 3 tablespoons honey with 1 tablespoon water, the lime juice, and chili powder.

    Step 3

    Forming one roll at a time, soak wrapper in a bowl of warm water until softened, about 30 seconds. Lift out and transfer to work surface. Dividing evenly, layer kiwi, noodles, and peanuts at one end of wrapper. Fold over ends and roll tightly to enclose filling. Cover rolls with a damp kitchen cloth while you work.

    Step 4

    To serve, slice rolls in half on the diagonal, and pass dipping sauce alongside.
