Thai Shrimp Wrap With Sticky Rice And Peanut Sauce

The soldiers at the foot of the cross threw dice for my Savior’s garments. And I have never heard the rattling of dice but I have conjured up the dreadful scene of Christ on his cross, and gamblers at the foot of it, with their dice bespattered with his blood. I do not hesitate to say that of all sins, there is none that more surely damns men, and worse than that, makes them the devil’s helpers to damn others, than gambling.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook rice by rinsing a few times and placing in a large saucepan.
Cover rice with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium  and
allow rice to cook until almost all water has evaporated or been
absorbed. Cover, reduce heat to low, and steam 10 minutes. Allow rice
to rest 20 minutes.  Combine all ingredients for the sauce.  For the
shrimp, heat oil in a wok or large, deep skillet. Add shrimp  and cook
until 3/4 done. Reserve. Return pan to heat, add a bit more  oil and
garlic and ginger and cook about 20 seconds until fragrant.  Add
carrots, celery, peppers and cook until vegetables begin to wilt  about
5 minutes. Add sauce and shrimps. Heat thoroughly. Add herbs.  Warm
tortillas. Arrange on a work surface and place a "brick" of rice  in
the center of each. Top with shrimp and sauce. (Use about 1 1/4
cups/300 mL filling in total for each.) Wrap tortilla around the
filling. Serve casually.  Converted by MC_Buster.  NOTES : Makes 8
