Ingredients
Scale
Spring Rolls
- 10 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- Water, as needed for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Wash and julienne the carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Slice the avocado and gather fresh mint and cilantro leaves.
- Make Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup. Stir well until smooth and adjust consistency with a little water if needed.
- Soften Rice Papers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper into it for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft but not too floppy.
- Assemble Spring Roll: Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface. Arrange a small amount of each vegetable and some herbs in the center of the wrapper.
- Roll Spring Rolls: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom upwards to enclose the filling securely.
- Repeat: Continue softening and filling the remaining wrappers with vegetables and herbs.
- Serve: Plate the spring rolls and serve with the prepared peanut sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use warm water to soften the rice paper wrappers for easier rolling.
- Julienning the vegetables thinly ensures the rolls are easy to bite and hold together well.
- If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a dash of chili flakes or Sriracha to the peanut dipping sauce.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a few hours.
- These spring rolls are naturally gluten-free if you use gluten-free soy sauce.
