The idea behind these Summer Rolls is simple yet genius. By incorporating Mike's Mighty Good Ramen, we add a unique texture and depth of flavor that sets these rolls apart from the ordinary. The ramen noodles, known for their superior quality and gourmet taste, are cooked to perfection and then mixed with a deliciously creamy peanut sauce. This sauce, made with chili oil, soy sauce, sugar, and peanut butter, strikes a perfect balance between spicy, salty, and sweet, creating an irresistible coating for the noodles.

The preparation process is as enjoyable as the end result. Start by cooking two packs of Mike's Mighty Good Ramen Spicy Pork Tonkotsu noodles, or the craft ramen flavor of your choice.

Cook the noodles, drain them, and let them cool just enough so that they don’t steam. Then, mix those noodles with the sauce. Make sure every strand gets a good coating. This isn’t just about flavor; the sauce keeps the noodles slick and prevents them from sticking together.

Now, let’s get to assembling the rolls. Grab the small rice paper sheets—these are your wrappers, and they’re going to be the perfect, delicate shell for your rolls. Soak each sheet in water until it’s pliable but not too soggy. Lay it flat on your workspace with care; the rice paper is delicate and can tear if you're not gentle. Once it’s ready, start adding your filling. Pile in the noodles, then layer in fresh, crunchy julienned carrots and cucumbers.

To finish off, the rolls are topped with toasted sesame seeds, adding a nutty flavor and a touch of elegance. The seeds not only enhance the visual appeal but also provide a subtle crunch that elevates the overall experience.
