Vietnamese Salad Rolls with Salmon, Rice Vermicelli, Pea Shoots, and Hoisin

Saturday, November 1, 2014

Suggested wine: gewürztraminer; riesling Think of these as a salad you can hold in your hand. Flavorful, healthful, and beautiful to look at, these salad rolls make perfect hors d’oeuvres, a first course to the start of an Asian meal, or picnic fare for a summer outing.

Suggested wine: Alsatian or Oregon pinot gris; riesling; gewùrztraminer Don’t be discouraged from making this soup because of the long list of ingredients—this is a quick one-pot meal. I purposely cook the rice noodles first so the pot can be rinsed and reused. (I love to cook, dislike doing dishes, and am always trying to figure out handy cleanup-saving methods!) If your supermarket doesn’t...
