Summer Rolls with Crab and Mango

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 2 tsp. honey
• 1 tsp. chili-garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp. Asian (dark) sesame oil
• 8 (6-inch) round rice paper wrappers
• 4 large Boston lettuce leaves, each cut lengthwise in half
• 1 small mango, peeled, pitted, and cut lengthwise into strips
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 2 cups bean sprouts
• 4 imitation crab sticks (6 oz.), each cut lengthwise in half
• 16 sprigs fresh cilantro

Makes 4 Servings (2 rolls and 1 1/2 tbsp. sauce per serving)

1. To make dipping sauce, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, chili paste, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
2. To assemble rolls, working one at a time, dip rice paper wrappers in a bowl or warm water; let stand jus until soft, about 30 seconds. Place on clean kitchen towel. Place 1 lettuce piece in center of each wrapper. Top lettuce with one eighth of mango, bell pepper, and bean sprouts. Top each with a piece of crab stick and 2 cilantro sprigs. Fold in sides and roll up to enclose filling. Press gently to seal. Cut each roll in half on diagonal. Serve with dipping sauce.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier than Takeout Cookbook. I don't eat Asian food often but when I make it at home, it's actually quite filling and tasty. The combination of crab, mango and vegetables is deliciously filling. Serve these as an appetizer and it will feel like a light lunch. When you handle the rice papers wrappers, always follow the directions. They can get sticky VERY fast and it can be challenging to wrap those around the filling.
