Ingredients
Scale
Spring Rolls
- Rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup cucumber strips
- 1 cup red bell pepper slices
- Fresh mint leaves (about 1/4 cup)
- Fresh cilantro (about 1/4 cup)
- 100g vermicelli noodles
Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- Water, as needed for consistency
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Wash and slice all the vegetables into thin, uniform strips so they’re easy to roll and bite into. Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water according to the package instructions, then drain well to prevent sogginess.
- Soften the rice paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip each rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds until pliable but not too soft. Lay it flat on a clean surface to avoid tearing.
- Assemble the rolls: On the lower third of the softened wrapper, arrange a small handful of vermicelli noodles, followed by the vegetables and herbs. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top, keeping the filling snug.
- Make the peanut sauce: In a bowl, whisk together natural peanut butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), maple syrup (natural), minced garlic, and chili flakes. Add a splash of water gradually to reach your desired creamy consistency.
- Serve and enjoy: Place your rolls on a serving platter and serve with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Don’t over-soak the rice paper to avoid tears and sogginess.
- Pat dry vegetables to keep rolls crisp.
- Roll firmly but gently to keep rolls intact without damaging the wrappers.
- Keep assembled rolls covered with a damp towel if not serving immediately to prevent drying out.
- Adjust sauce thickness by adding water gradually to achieve a silky, easy-to-dip peanut sauce.
