Portable and satisfying, summer rolls are the ultimate picnic meal on a hot summer day, especially with a refreshing bubble tea to slurp along with them. Summer Rolls also make for a well-balanced light lunch or an impressive appetizer at your garden shindig. Learn how to make all sorts of summer rolls and bubble tea drinks in this 90-minute class. You’ll even prep ahead the components for your next picnic or tomorrow’s lunch.
We’re filling our summer rolls with all of the fresh summer herbs, like basil, mint and cilantro as well as leafy salad greens, cucumbers and peppers. Use what you have and make them your own. Add your protein of choice. Chef Laura will demonstrate shrimp as well as tofu and smoked meats. Get scrappy with leftover chicken breast or proscuitto from the deli. Make two simple dipping sauces for your rolls, one sweet and tangy, the other spicy and nutty. You will also learn two methods to boba drinks — one with a traditional tea and milk base and the other, a kid friendly fruit based drink, made from scratch with no additional sugar. And of course, we will fill you up with fun facts as well, such as why Thai tea is orange and where Boba comes from.
