Equipment

  • Large bowl for soaking rice paper
  • Cutting board and knife for slicing vegetables
  • Small bowl for peanut sauce
  • Plate or tray to arrange the rolls
  • Spoon for spreading peanut sauce

Ingredients

  • For the Spring Rolls:
  • 12 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 medium carrot julienned
  • 1 cucumber julienned
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce like romaine or butter lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup purple cabbage thinly sliced
  • Fresh mint leaves optional
  • Fresh cilantro leaves optional
  • For the Peanut Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter smooth or chunky
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon water or more, to thin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili paste or sriracha optional for heat

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients:
  • Prepare all your vegetables. Julienne the carrot and cucumber, slice the avocado, shred the lettuce, and thinly slice the purple cabbage. Set aside.
  • If using fresh herbs like mint and cilantro, rinse and pat them dry.
  • Soak the Rice Paper:
  • Fill a large bowl with warm water. Gently dip each rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5-10 seconds, until softened but still pliable. Be careful not to soak too long to avoid tears.
  • Assemble the Spring Rolls:
  • Lay the soaked rice paper flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel or plate.
  • Place a small amount of lettuce in the center, followed by the julienned carrot, cucumber, avocado slices, purple cabbage, and herbs (if using).
  • Fold in the sides of the rice paper and tightly roll up the spring roll, like a burrito. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used up.
  • Make the Peanut Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and chili paste or sriracha (if using). Whisk until smooth.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve:
  • Arrange the veggie spring rolls on a plate and serve with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
