Hello friends of this great community, once again we meet on this platform, to be part of this wonderful project organized by @ecotrain .
Since the start of the medicinal and healthy food project has been incredible the process of change in me, because I think I'm a little more aware of what I'm giving to my body.
I love the Eastern culture and its food as they promote healthy habits , decreasing the consumption of processed foods , sugars , moderating the consumption of meats ,and really getting a varied and balanced diet
In our western culture there is a huge need to promote health, from the most basic principles such as healthy eating, there are so many diseases that come from poor diet and we can see it even in children who today have diseases such as obesity, diabetes.
For this reason I love this project and its call to be aware of what our body receives.
This week I had the opportunity to make this delicious recipe called :
Thai lettuce springrolls with peanut satay
It is extremely delicious, super fresh and crunchy with a wonderful texture in each of its raw ingredients and with a delicious accompanying cream that literally makes an explosion of flavors on the palate. You will love it , so let's see the recipe .
We will need the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup chopped unpeeled cucumbers
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage purple
- 1 head of lettuce
- 1/2 cup paprika of red and yellow
- 1/2 cup sliced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup of carrots
For the tangy peanut sauce
- 3/4 cup roasted unpeeled peanuts
- 1/3 cup papelon (Unprocessed dark sugar)
- 2 whole roasted red chillies
- 2 tbsp tamarind pulp
- 1/2 tsp unrefined salt
Procedure:
First, make the peanut satay cream.To keep vegetables as fresh as possible.
- The first thing we do is to roast the chiles and peanuts, giving them a crunchy texture.

- Then in a mixer we add all the ingredients, the peanuts, the tamarind pulp, salt , the roasted chiles and the papelon.

In this case I made a variation of the recipe with papelon because in Venezuela, it is not common to find date powder, which is a natural sweetener, but the papelon fulfills this function very well and it is not a processed sugar.
When you try it, it is exquisite, you feel the crunchy texture of the peanut, the acidity of the tamarind, the spiciness of the chili and the sweetness of the papelon.
Now let's go to the springrolls:
Previously wash each of the vegetables, especially lettuce and cabbage, I like to let them stand in water with vinegar, so we eliminate any bacteria.
We will chop each of the ingredients
- The cucumber , we leave it with its skin to preserve as much of the nutrients as possible.
- The paprika and the carrot will be chopped in long and thin strips.
- Chop the purple cabbage into thin strips.
- After having each of the ingredients chopped, we will begin to assemble the rolls.
One of the difficulties of this dish is to make it all hold together so I layered the lettuce on top of each other to form a bed of lettuce and then added the vegetables and rolled it up.
It is really delicious and the dressing gives it an exceptional touch, plus it is very filling. I love this recipe, I invite you to make it, it will fascinate you!!
Thank you for your time in reading this publication I hope you enjoyed it and that it motivates you to eat a healthy diet.
