If you want to add a creamy element and increase the fats you can make it as a smoked salmon cream cheese wrap or smoked salmon wraps with avocado. Both cream cheese and avocado pair well with smoked salmon, balancing out the salty flavor of the fish and adding a delicious texture.

How do you make the best peanut sauce?

Making your own peanut sauce is simple and the flavor will far outreach any store bought dipping sauces. Using a good quality peanut butter, fresh aromatics like ginger and garlic, soy sauce, and a touch of honey will create a well rounded sauce with depth and interest. We love the addition of rice vinegar and red pepper flakes for some added heat and flavor kick.

Yes, rice paper wraps are dry and will need to be wetted slightly in order to roll and fold. Simply dip the rice paper wrap quickly in warm water and fill with your prepared ingredients. You will need to work quickly as the wraps will become sticky.
