Albacore Tuna Late Summer Rolls

Why late summer rolls and not spring rolls? ... because I started making them in late summer for our after- golf -practice-lunch-in-the-garden with chi KA and Lisa :-)  The first time we made them with the traditional vietnamese rice noodle (bun') and this time with green tea soba noodle ... and they were ... spectacular if I may say so  :-)



INGREDIENTS:
Makes about 18 summer rolls
- Albacore Tuna (1 big fillet :0))
- 3/4 fuji apple
- 1 avocado
- 2 small cucumbers (persian)
- 2 small heads of lettuce
- 1 bundle of green tea soba noodle
-  Rice paper wrap

PREPARATION:
1. Sear the tuna and cut into strips
2. Clean and cut the stem off the lettuce
3. Cut the cucumber, fuji apple and avocado into chopstick size julienne
4. Boil the soba noodle al dente
5. Place everything on the wet paper rice (you know what I mean ... I hope :-))
6. Keep on rolling ...
7. Cover the rolls with a wet paper towel to keep them from drying out until ready to serve
8. To serve, cut the rolls in half and serve with some soy sauce (I like the one with ponzu - japanese lime and bonito flakes) and shiracha hot sauce .. YUM!
