OMG, so very, very good! Tonight I made these rice paper wraps suggested by Alex. Bunnies, it was so delish; I'm never eating anything else, ever. →[More:]

How I had them tonight: I stirfried some onion, red bell pepper, carrot, minced ginger, and cubed tofu, then scooped it all out into a bowl and added diced cucumber and zucchini (courgettes, Brits!), then when I made the wraps, I drizzled this mixture with a bit of peanut sauce (peanut butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic and a little water dissolved together in a small pan on the stove) and some chopped arugula (rocket, Brits!). Wow. Wow.

kind of like this, but I sliced my veggies smaller, and wrapped mine tighter, like little packages. The peanut sauce was nice (do you ever put nuts in stir fry? I do that all the time...), but I think I need to buy some fresher/better peanutbutter. For some reason, it's kind of a novelty item here, so it's a little pricey, and the jars don't fly off the shelf, so that can be an issue.

If my food processor weren't broken, I'd try making my own. Anyway, I'll be trying different sauces, too. I think Alex uses pesto, as well.

Taadaaa. I wrapped mine like this. But I did it as Alex suggested, with a bowl of water at the table (and using exactly his technique), and just wrapping 'em up and eating 'em up one by one as I went along. More fun than making them all in advance, I think.
