Instructions :
Prepare the dipping sauce by simply whisking the ingredients together. Keep aside.
Prepare the brown butter mushrooms by taking 2-3 tablespoons of butter in a thick bottomed pan. Melt the butter over medium-high heat, swirl occasionally. Meanwhile, wash and cut your mushrooms lengthwise into two. If they are longer varieties, cut them into four parts. Allow the butter to bubble till of amber/light brown colour. Fry the garlic till fragrant and arrange the mushrooms apart from each other. Cook for 20 seconds on each side and then toss to coat them well with butter. Turn off the heat and season with salt and white pepper. Keep aside until at room temperature.
Prepare the summer rolls and start with filling a deep pan (larger in size than the rice paper) with warm water. Dip one piece of the paper into the water and hold it for about 10 seconds until slightly soft yet firm. Shake off the excess water and lay flat on a kitchen towel. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and microgreens (optional) and place the brown butter mushrooms. Follow with the chopped lettuce and assorted veggies. Put a spoonful of the diced mango/pineapple along with some chopped basil and mint.
Make tight rolls like a burrito, cut into half, dunk into the dipping sauce. Enjoy!

FAQ
Can I make summer rolls ahead of time?
Yes. Summer rolls can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Cover them with a damp cloth or parchment paper to prevent the rice paper from drying out.
What do milky mushrooms taste like?
Milky mushrooms have a mild, slightly sweet flavour and a tender yet meaty texture, making them ideal for stir-fries, grilled dishes, and fresh rolls.
Why use brown butter for mushrooms?
Brown butter develops a rich, nutty flavour that enhances the natural umami of mushrooms while creating a more complex taste profile.
Can I make this recipe vegetarian?
Yes. Replace the fish sauce with soy sauce, tamari, or a vegetarian alternative to make the dipping sauce vegetarian-friendly.
How do I stop rice paper from tearing?
Dip each rice paper sheet in warm water for about 10 seconds until just pliable. Avoid soaking it for too long, as it will continue to soften while you assemble the rolls.
