I’m very new to this. How does the cucumber hold up to the freezing/thawing/reheating process?
The texture will change so if that is an issue for you, you may want to leave them out or add them on the serving day.
Is there a missing ingredient in the peanut sauce? I followed the listed proportions and ended up with a very solid “dressing”. I added some rice vinegar which fixed the problem.
The original sauce proportions were correct but I modified the instructions to spread the sauce on the wraps instead of combining with the other ingredients like a dressing as it was originally written because you are correct, it is thicker than a dressing. I’m sure your method worked very well though too! Thanks for the feedback.
What works instead of peanut butter? I have nut allergies but this looks yummy!!
Perhaps you could try a Thai Sweet Chili sauce instead of a peanut sauce? The wrap itself is pretty basic so any type of sauce you enjoy could likely be used.
These were a perfect fit for dinner tonight, since I had leftover grilled chicken breast and alot of cabbage and cucumbers from my Farm Share. They were good, I ate them cold, the directions talk about reheating, but since nothing I had was hot to begin with, that didn’t seem to apply. I subbed “Better N Peanut Butter” for regular peanut butter, worked fine. But I did want more sauce than what was allotted, so I doubled the amounts. Taking the leftovers to lunch tomorrow, without a wrap, as salad!
I loved these fresh, but I have not been a huge fan when thawed/reheated.
