  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 3 hrs + 20 min
  • Yield: 9 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • oven
  • baking pan dish (20x20cm / 8×8″)
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • whisk
  • small pot
  • small metal (or glass) bowl
  • sharp knife

Ingredients

Units Scale

BATTER

  • 230 grams rice flour
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp backing powder
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • 120 milliliters oat milk (or any other milk you prefer)
  • 90 milliliters coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp butter, for greasing

TOPPING

  • 100 grams white chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 135°C / 275°F.
  2. Grease your baking pan with a teaspoon of butter and set it aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: rice flour, sugar, matcha powder, and baking powder.
  4. In another medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients: oat milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk these together well.
  5. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until you have a smooth, creamy batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased pan, smoothing it out to an even layer, and bake for about 70 minutes.
  7. Once done, take the brownie out of the oven and let it cool completely. As it cools, it will sink slightly and the surface will dry out, but it will become deliciously gooey.
  8. For the topping, fill a small pot with water and bring it to a simmer, then take it off the heat. Break the white chocolate into small pieces and place them in a small metal bowl. Set this bowl over the simmering water pot to melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil, mix well, then pour the melted chocolate over the cooled brownie. Let this cool down again.
  9. I got a bit impatient and cut into the brownies too soon while the chocolate was still soft – it was a bit messy, but I wasn’t mad about it! Once everything is fully set, cut the brownie into 9 even squares and enjoy.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Experience a crunch like no other with this unique dish that combines crispy fried rice paper with a lush mango avocado cashew salad. It’s a textural delight that’s bursting with freshness and flavor.

How to serve
Serve this crispy delight as a stunning appetizer or a light, refreshing meal. The crackle of the rice paper perfectly complements the soft, rich textures of avocado and mango, with cashews adding a satisfying crunch. It’s a dish best enjoyed immediately to secure the crispy rice paper and the cool, fresh salad. Alternatively for making it ahead, you can serve the salad and the deep-fried rice paper individually.

How to store
The crispy rice paper should be enjoyed right after frying to maintain its texture. However, the mango avocado cashew salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container and is best eaten within a day to keep the flavors vibrant and fresh.

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small frying pan or pot
  • scissors
  • paper towels
  • salad bowl
  • small bowl

Ingredients

Units Scale

CUPS

  • 4 small rice paper
  • 200 milliliters deep-frying fat

DRESSING

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1/4 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

SALAD

  • 300 grams red cabbage
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 40 grams cashew nuts

TOPPINGS

  • cress or sprouts
  • white sesame
  • spring onion

Instructions

  1. Heat about 1 cm of frying oil to 180°C / 356°F in a small frying pan. Carefully cut the rice paper into quarters using scissors, and fry each quarter in the hot oil for 5 seconds until it puffs up and turns fluffy white. Remove from the pan and let it drain on paper towels. Note: The paper is only pliable for a short time after being removed from the oil.
  2. For the salad, finely shred the red cabbage and place it in a salad bowl. Peel the mango and avocado and cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces, adding them to the salad bowl as well. Finally, add the cashews.
  3. For the dressing, mix avocado oil, lime juice, grated garlic and ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl and pour it over the salad. Mix everything well.
  4. Slice the green part of the spring onion into fine strips and set aside.
  5. If serving immediately, lay out the fried rice papers, fill each with 1-2 tablespoons of salad, and top each with white sesame seeds, cress, and the sliced spring onions. If not serving immediately, I recommend preparing both components separately.
