Fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce are light, crisp, and packed with vibrant vegetables, herbs, and rice noodles, served with a creamy nutty dipping sauce. A refreshing appetizer, snack, or light meal.

Ingredients

2 ounces rice vermicelli or maifun brown rice noodles

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

1 cup torn butter lettuce, ribs removed

1 cup very thinly sliced red cabbage

2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks or strips

2 Persian cucumbers (or 1 small cucumber), thinly sliced or julienned

2 medium jalapeños, ribs and seeds removed, thinly sliced

¼ cup thinly sliced green onions

¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro

¼ cup roughly chopped fresh mint

8 sheets rice paper (spring roll wrappers)

⅓ cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

2 to 3 tablespoons water, as needed

Instructions

  1. Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss with sesame oil and sea salt.
  2. Prepare all vegetables and herbs by slicing thinly or julienning.
  3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet for 10–15 seconds until pliable. Lay flat on a clean surface or damp towel.
  4. Arrange lettuce, noodles, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, jalapeño, green onions, cilantro, and mint in the lower third of the wrapper.
  5. Fold sides inward, then tightly roll up from the bottom, tucking as you go. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  6. For peanut sauce, whisk peanut butter, rice vinegar, tamari, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, and garlic. Add water gradually until smooth.
  7. Serve spring rolls with peanut sauce for dipping.

Notes

Add cooked shrimp, tofu, or chicken for extra protein.

Use basil or Thai basil instead of cilantro/mint for a twist.

Add mango or avocado for sweetness and creaminess.

Make peanut sauce spicier with chili garlic sauce or sriracha.

Best eaten fresh, but can be stored up to 2 days if wrapped individually.
