Equipment

Ingredients

For the Spring Rolls

  • 8 rice paper sheets
  • 2 ounces rice noodles cooked according to the package
  • 1 large cucumber cut into matchsticks
  • 1 medium carrot thinly shaven
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup Nappa cabbage, shredded
  • ½ cup Thai basil leaves optional
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds

Peanut Soy Dipping Sauce

  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon ginger, grated
  • ½ teaspoon garlic, grated

Instructions

How to make Spring Rolls

  • Fill a large bowl (big enough to fit the rice paper sheets) with warm water.
  • Dip a rice paper sheet into the warm water for 5-10 seconds, or until it starts to soften.
  • Carefully transfer the rice paper to a cutting board and fill with a small handful of rice noodles, a few sticks of cucumber, a slice of avocado, a small handful of cabbage, two thai basil leaves, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. You don’t have to be exact with what toppings you include-- do whatever you like.
  • Fold the sides of the rice paper toward the middle, covering the filling. Then, fold the side closest to you over the filling and roll towards the top to completely enclose the filling-- just like you would a burrito.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature with the peanut-soy dipping sauce (recipe below).

Make the Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, and garlic. If needed, add water to thin to your desired consistency (for more of a spring roll friendly sauce, add 1-2 Tablespoons of water). Store in the fridge until ready to use.

Notes

Be sure to check Variations, Expert Tips, and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.
Variations: You can use any combination of ingredients that you like in the filling-- radish, butter lettuce, marinated tofu, and mango are also great add-ins!
For an extra kick, add sriracha or sweet chili paste to the peanut-soy sauce.
Note: To keep this a vegan recipe, check the ingredients in the soy sauce that it is a vegan soy sauce.
