Vietnamese Roast Beef or Pastrami Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 large garlic clove (smashed)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp green curry paste
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp Asian fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped mint
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 lb deli roast beef or pastrami, thinly sliced and cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 24 six-inch-round rice paper wrappers
  • 4 cup coleslaw mix (1 large carrot grated and 1/4 head of cabbage grated)

Directions

  1. In a mortar, pound the garlic to a paste with the brown sugar and green curry paste. Add the lime juice, fish sauce and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir in half of the cilantro and mint. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of the green curry dipping sauce.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with the roast beef and the remaining cilantro and mint.
  3. Fill a pie plate with warm water. Dip 2 or 3 rice paper wrappers at a time in the water, then set them on a work surface to soften, about 1 minute. Spread a scant teaspoon of the curry mayonnaise on the bottom third of each wrapper and top with a scant 3 tablespoons of the roast beef filling. Roll the wrappers into tight cylinders, tucking in the sides as you go. Transfer the rolls to a plastic wrap–lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers, curry mayonnaise and filling.
  4. Just before serving, cut each roll in half and serve with the dipping sauce (cilantro and mint)
