chicken, mango & cucumber spring rolls / grilled bok choy with shallot-pepita crunch

Contents of your meal kit:

bok choy
mango
persian cucumber
bell pepper
herb bundle (basil & cilantro)
spring roll wrappers
peanut dipping sauce
honey-sesame glaze
shallot pepita crunch

Cookware needed: outdoor grill (see notes), shallow dish/pan

Finishing steps:

  1. Slice bok choy in half lengthwise. Rinse under cold running water, place cut-side down on a clean towel to dry.
  2. Cut mango, cucumber and bell pepper into long thin strips. Pull herbs from their stems.
  3. Preheat outdoor grill to medium heat.
  4. Set up an assembly line for spring rolls (see note).  You need a clean counter or cutting board, mango, cucumber, bell pepper, and herbs.  Grab a large shallow dish/pan, and fill with two inches of warm (NOT hot) water.
  5. Working on ONE roll at a time, dip wrapper for a few seconds per side into the water.  (It should become pliable, not completely soft.)  Set on board, arrange mango, cucumber, bell pepper & herbs down the center, fold in sides of the wrapper and roll like a burrito.  Set on a plate and cover with a damp towel while you finish the rest.
  6. Brush or drizzle the bok choy with a small amount of oil. Grill about 2 minutes per side or until just tender, and grill marks appear.
  7. Serve spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce. Drizzle the grilled bok choy with honey-sesame glaze and sprinkle with shallot-pepita crunch.

Notes:

  • A grill pan, skillet, or your oven’s broiler can be used instead of an outdoor grill.  Cooking times may vary.
  • You’ll have enough filling for approx 2 rolls per person, but we’ve provided extra wrappers just in case
