Ingredients
2 limes, segmented and finely chopped
2 cm piece fresh ginger, minced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
½ fresh red chilli, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
1 dash fish sauce
1 small pinch sugar
8-12 baby spinach leaves, rinsed
Directions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped lime, minced ginger, sliced shallot, chopped chilli, and cilantro. Add the crushed peanuts and toss gently to combine.
Season the mixture with a small dash of fish sauce and a tiny pinch of sugar. Stir well and taste, adjusting seasonings as desired.
Arrange the clean baby spinach leaves on a serving platter, laying them flat with the stem end pointing toward the center for easy rolling.
Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the lime-ginger mixture onto the center of each spinach leaf.
Serve immediately and invite guests to roll each leaf tightly into a cylinder and enjoy in a single bite.
