Ingredients
- Rice paper wrappers
- Fresh cucumbers, julienned
- Carrots, julienned
- Bell peppers, thinly sliced
- Fresh lettuce or spinach leaves
- Fresh mint and cilantro leaves
- Bean sprouts (optional)
- Tofu or cooked chicken strips (optional for added protein)
- Peanut dipping sauce: peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, honey, water
- Rice paper sheets
Instructions
- Start by washing and julienning your fresh vegetables.
- Prepare the peanut dipping sauce by whisking together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and a splash of water until smooth.
- Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable. Carefully lay it flat on a damp towel or clean surface.
- Place a few layers of lettuce or spinach at the bottom center of the rice paper. Add a few strips of each julienned vegetable, some mint and cilantro leaves, and optional protein. Roll the paper tightly from the bottom, folding in the sides as you go, to create a compact and beautiful fresh spring roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Arrange the veggie spring rolls on a platter and serve with a bowl of peanut dipping sauce. Garnish with extra herbs for presentation.
Notes
- Ensure rice paper is soaked just long enough to become pliable to prevent tearing.
- Use fresh vegetables for the best crunch and flavor.
- Wrap leftover spring rolls tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Keep peanut sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
