Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Makes 8 spring rolls (4 servings) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Spring Rolls:

8 rice paper wrappers

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup thinly sliced cucumber

1 cup shredded purple cabbage

1 cup cooked rice noodles

1 avocado, sliced thin

1 cup fresh lettuce leaves

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

16 cooked shrimp halves or 1 cup baked tofu strips (optional)

For the Peanut Sauce:

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 clove garlic, minced

2-4 tablespoons warm water (to thin)

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce:
 In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and water until smooth. Add more water if needed for dipping consistency.

Soften Rice Paper:

Serve:
 Slice in half if desired and serve immediately with peanut sauce.

Notes

Cooking Tips

  • Keep finished rolls covered with a damp paper towel so they don’t dry out.
  • Do not over-soak rice paper; it continues softening after dipping.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice rolls cleanly.
  • Prep all fillings before starting assembly for easier rolling.

Variations

  • Chicken Version: Add shredded rotisserie chicken.
  • Vegan Option: Use tofu and maple syrup in sauce.
  • Spicy Rolls: Add jalapeño slices or chili flakes.
  • Fruit Twist: Include mango slices for sweetness.
  • Low-Carb Option: Skip noodles and add extra greens.
