Vegetable fillings
Finely shred the cabbage and place in a bowl.
Peel and finely shred the carrots in a bowl.
Add a tablespoon of rice vinegar and pinch of salt in each bowl. Gently toss to coat.
Peanut dipping sauce
In a small pan, add 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of maple syrup, 2 tbsp of lime or lemon juice, 1 tsp chili paste.
On medium heat, slowly stir until the peanut butter turns creamy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Prepare the leaves
Heat up a large pot of water and add 1 tsp of salt.
Remove the tough stem on all leaves making sure to leave the leaf part intact and large enough to make a roll.
Boil a few leaves at a time for 2-3 minutes, until the leaves are soft and the stems are tenderized.
Remove the leaves and place on a paper towel to cool down. Repeat until all leaves have been blanched.
Assemble
Take a collard leaf, place the cut section near you, add the seasoned veggie meat, then the shredded cabbage, and carrots.
Start rolling and tucking the sides. Place each wrap down to keep them from opening.
Serve with the peanut dipping sauce.
Notes
