Sunrise Nori Wraps with Spicy Tahini Drizzle
Jalapeños are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapeños have a balanced combination of flavor and heat. The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties.
Yield: 16 handrolls
Ingredients
4 nori seaweed sheets, cut into 4-inch squares
¼ small head red cabbage, very thinly sliced
1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
1 small yellow summer squash, julienned
1 small cucumber, julienned
1 large ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
For the Spicy Tahini Drizzle:
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 ¼ tablespoons chickpea miso paste
1 tablespoon raw tahini
2 medjool dates, pitted
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
Water, as needed to thin the drizzle
Instructions
To make the tahini: Combine all of the ingredients except the water in a blender. Blend, adding water 1 teaspoon at a time as you go, until the mixture becomes a thin sauce.
To make the wraps: Place the nori sheets on a flat surface.
Add a few pieces of cabbage, carrot, squash, cucumber, and avocado to each sheet. Top each pile of vegetables with a heaping tablespoon of the Spicy Tahini Drizzle, and then roll up the nori sheets into a tube shape.
Serve alongside the remaining sauce!
Notes
If you want the wraps to stick together when you roll them up, wet the sides of each sheet with a little water (you can just use your finger). I laid out my sheets like diamonds and placed the veggie piles vertically. Then all I had to do was tuck the bottom corner and fold the sides in to get little hand rolls.
