Made this for a light dinner last night and it was super tasty. The rolls had an great freshness about them and they were easy to put together. Sauce was yummy too. Thanks for sharing!

Loved the peanut sauce! I didn’t have lemon grass though, so I just added a splash of lemon juice to the water. Still fantastic!

Made this last night for supper and it was a huge hit. You are right, the peanut sauce is the best and it is totally a new favorite in the house. In fact, I am using the sauce as a stir fry sauce tonight! YUM! Thank you for this recipe!

Angelahanson1968 – For your friend allergic to nuts, I would leave out the peanut butter, and cut back on the water, sugar, and other sauce ingredients. Or maybe just use Hoisin sauce?

Thank you for letting me know about the lemon grass. I love LOVE LOVE Thai food and this looks like something I could easily do at home. When the Thai place I mentioned was sold the new owners stopped selling the peanut sauce. I was in withdrawl (serious withdrawl)!

The only thing I have to grab this weekend is a stalk of lemon grass – I promise to let you know how it turns out.

Saw these on PW awhile back and tried them then – they were fab! And fun to make. The sauce especially.

they look really great and the peanut sauce sounds equally yummy. I have a good friend who is deathly allergic to nuts…any idea what other sauce might be good with these?

MaggieMay-Great question. I usually cut a 2 inch piece off of a stalk of lemon grass. I roughly chop it and put it into the water to simmer. After simmering for 5 minutes, discard. The water will have the lemon grass flavor. If you want it stronger or lighter, use more or less to taste.

These look yummy, my favourite Thai restaurant was just sold and the food isn’t as good as it was so I’m looking for easy ways to find great Thai food.

I have a question. How big a piece of lemongrass should I use? A whole stalk? A 2 inch piece?

Thank you!!
