Thai Slaw Rolls
30 March 2010 by Jean JohnsonWhen you put these on the table people think they’re getting burritos. Then they take a bite and roll their eyes. That’s right, soft rolled up pancakes filled with a Thai-inspired slaw is first rate–something I’d make in a heartbeat if Mark Bittman swooped in for a nib.
If you want to see me on camera whipping these lovelies up, just scroll on down.
The recipe for Rolled Ups is on page 38 of Cooking Beyond Measure, and you can find Thai Slaw on page 139.
As my mother used to say, “These are so good you could peddle it!”
Really, truly–I could live on these babies…
Here’s hopin’ you give them a whirl. Even picky husbands and pb&j kids like Thai Slaw Rolls.

YAY!!! Wonderful job! What video skills… and your repartee is so relaxed that I feel like I’m sitting right across the cutting board from you sipping on my coffee and keeping company… Thanks, Jean… and can’t wait for the 3rd section assemblage vid!

It is really helpful to see you make the rolls. I was scared of trying the crepes, but now I think I will. I tried the slaw night before last, and loved it.

Another note by email from Jennifer–as in Mikey likes it!
My six-year old insisted that I send a leftover slaw roll in his lunch the day after I made them. Cabbage is on my shopping list (again).

I agree with Tina! I love being invited into your kitchen, Jean!

Nice to hear, Pam. But then you’ve loved me all along. I’ve often wondered how that happened, but whatever–you’ve certainly distinguished yourself in my mind. J

What are the delightful little ( Vietnamese ? )
rolls – they are wrapped in something transparent
and not boiled in oil. Would like to make them
but have been unable to even find a place serving
them since first trying them. They are served
cold and are wonderful on a hot, muggy day.

Right, Mimi–it’s rice paper wrappers and they’re called Vietnamese Salad Rolls–my gripe with them, though, is that they are filled with white flour noodles and iceberg lettuce…
