Satay sauce

This satay sauce is probably most made recipe of all time. I think there are a few reasons why: they’re all my go-to flavours, it’s super easy and not to mention, freaking delicious!

You can serve this satay sauce with rice paper rolls, dumplings, stir fry, or anything similar.

What you’ll need:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 clove fresh garlic, finely diced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

3 generous tbsp peanut butter (my favourite is Fix & Fogg’s Super Crunchy)

Half a fresh lime (or you can use 2 tbsp lime juice)

1 tbsp sweet thai chilli sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp fish sauce

2 tbsp warm water (or more depending on how you like the consistency)

How to make it:

  1. In a small saucepan with olive oil, combine the garlic, ginger, peanut butter, lime juice, sweet thai chilli sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce.
  2. Whisk together all the ingredients, until it starts to form a sauce consistency.
  3. Depending on how you like the consistency (runny or more solid), you can add warm water and keep stirring.

Enjoy!

Pumpkin rice paper rolls

This recipe is a go-to for a date night, pot-luck dish or if you want a light, fresh and healthy meal.

I love the roasted pumpkin filling because it’s so delicious with satay sauce, and it’s basically all the best veggies bundled up in a roll!

This recipe makes 5 rice paper rolls (or 10 if you cut them in half).

What you’ll need:

Quarter pumpkin, thinly sliced and roasted

Half a cucumber, thinly sliced

Half a carrot, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups alfalfa sprouts

4 large whole lettuce leaves (chop them all in half so you have 8 smaller leaves)

8 rice paper rolls

Handful of fresh coriander

Large bowl of hot water

How to make them:

  1. Soak the rice paper roll in the hot water for about a minute.
  2. Transfer the wet rice paper roll onto a clean dinner plate.
  3. Lay a lettuce leaf on the rice paper roll, and add the pumpkin, cucumber, carrot and alfalfa sprouts and coriander in layers.
  4. Roll the rice paper roll, tucking in the filling and folding each end to make sure nothing can fall out (at this stage the rice paper roll will still be wet, but once you let it sit for a minute or so it dries out!)
  5. Once your rice paper roll is dry, cut it in half so you have two smaller rolls.

Enjoy!
