How to make Mango Kani Rolls?

Sometimes called “Vietnamese Kani Roll” or a “Summer Rolls”, a popular mix of fresh, colorful, and cooling ingredients with a slight sweetness, made even more savory with the sauce. These rolls are eaten as a snack or sometimes as a quick lunch or dinner. 

To make these rolls, start with preparing the ingredients, warming up or thawing the kani (crabsticks) before slicing these in half, these will be the ‘meat’ or the rolls, you can also use other cooked meats like shrimps, pork, beef, or even sausages as an alternative. Then slicing the vegetables-cucumber, carrots, and fruit of choice-mango into thin strips (julienne). Slicing them thinly helps make them easier to roll and eat later on. Next is the lettuce that needs to be washed properly and strained to help remove any extra moisture. Then prepare the rice papers by wetting once each time you make the roll. Don’t wet them all at once as these will stick to each other and might turn into one glob of thick transparent paper. Layer as follows, the wet rice paper, lettuce over, before filling the middle with carrots, cucumbers, mangoes, and crab sticks. Rolling, making sure to tuck in the edges. Then slice into 3 or 4’s to show off the colorful fillings. For the simple but tasty Kani Mango Roll Sauce recipe simply mix together mayo, lemon juice, sesame oil, salt and pepper, giving it a taste and adding sugar or honey if needed. Prepare the rolls on a large plate, playing the sauce in the middle. These are great as an appetizer, healthy snack, or to fill the party table with a healthier but colorfully presentable dish.
