Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these vibrant spring rolls:

For the Spring Rolls

  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup butter lettuce or spinach leaves

For the Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1-2 tbsp water (to thin the sauce)
  • Optional: Crushed peanuts or chili flakes for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fillings
  • Wash and slice all the veggies into thin, uniform strips.
  • Arrange them on a plate for easy assembly.
  1. Soak the Rice Paper
  • Fill a shallow dish with warm water.
  • Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-10 seconds until it softens.
  • Place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
  1. Assemble the Spring Rolls
  • Layer a few mint leaves and lettuce on the bottom third of the rice paper.
  • Add a small handful of carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, and avocado slices.
  • Fold the sides of the rice paper over the fillings, then roll tightly from the bottom to seal.
  1. Make the Peanut Sauce
  • In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, and garlic.
  • Add water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  1. Serve
  • Arrange the spring rolls on a plate with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
  • Garnish with crushed peanuts or chili flakes if desired.

Tips for Perfect Spring Rolls

  • Don’t Overfill: Too many fillings can make the rolls hard to wrap.
  • Use Warm Water: It softens the rice paper quickly and evenly.
  • Keep It Tight: Roll firmly to prevent the rolls from falling apart.
  • Prep Ahead: Slice all your veggies in advance for quicker assembly.

Customization Ideas

  • Add Protein: Include cooked shrimp, tofu, or grilled chicken for extra protein.
  • Switch Up the Veggies: Try adding mango, jicama, or purple cabbage for more color and flavor.
  • Change the Sauce: Use a sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce, or tahini dressing instead of peanut sauce.

How to Store and Serve

  • Storage: Store spring rolls in an airtight container with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out. They’ll last up to 2 days in the fridge.
  • Serving: Serve chilled or at room temperature. Pair with extra dipping sauce for added flavor.
