Ingredients

Scale

Spring Roll Components

  • Rice Paper Wrappers (12 sheets)
  • 2 medium Carrots, shredded
  • 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper (any color), thinly sliced
  • 1 cup Leafy Greens (butter lettuce or spinach), rinsed
  • 1/4 cup fresh Mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh Cilantro leaves
  • 100g cooked Rice Noodles, drained

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (smooth)
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (natural, gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup (natural)
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Warm Water (adjust for desired consistency)
  • Optional: 1 tsp Natural Gelling Agent (for thicker sauce)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Veggies and Noodles: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Peel and shred the carrots, thinly slice the cucumber and bell pepper, and rinse the leafy greens. Cook rice noodles according to package instructions; drain well to avoid sogginess inside the rolls.
  2. Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip each rice paper wrapper for about 10 to 15 seconds until soft but still slightly firm to prevent tearing. Lay them flat on a clean damp kitchen towel as you prepare to fill.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Place a few pieces of each vegetable, some herbs, and a small portion of noodles on the softened rice paper. Fold in the sides loosely, then roll tightly from one end to form a neat compact roll. Repeat for remaining wrappers and fillings.
  4. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, combine natural peanut butter with soy sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, and warm water to thin to desired consistency. Add the natural gelling agent if a thicker texture is preferred. Whisk until silky smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and serve alongside the peanut sauce for dipping. Garnish as desired with chopped peanuts, cilantro, or toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Prep vegetables and sauce ahead of time to streamline assembly.
  • Do not overfill the rice paper wrappers to avoid tearing and difficulty rolling.
  • Work quickly as rice paper can dry out fast; keep wrappers covered with a damp towel.
  • Adjust sauce thickness with warm water or natural gelling agent according to preference.
  • Serve spring rolls fresh to maintain crispness and texture.
