Instructions

Veggie spring rolls:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to the directions on the package, until al dente.
  • Drain, rinse under cold water, transfer to a bowl and drizzle with some sesame oil.
  • Fill a shallow cake pan (9-10 inches in diameter) with cold water.
  • Place a lint free kitchen towel next to the pan.
  • Arrange all prepared fillings, so they are next to the pan.
  • Place 1 rice paper at a time in the pan with water. Let it sit for 20-30 seconds, until the sheet is soft and pliable. Place the sheet onto the towel.
  • Leave at least 1 inch around the edges, cover the lower 1/3 of the rice paper sheet with lettuce (2 pieces), a handful of rice noodles, peppers, carrots, cucumbers, jalapeño (optional), mint, cilantro and green onion (optional).
  • Fold the lower edge up over the fillings, rolling upward just until the filling is compactly enclosed. Fold over the short sides like you would to make a burrito. Now roll up the roll. Repeat with the remaining sheets of rice paper and filling ingredients.

Peanut Sauce:

  • To make the peanut sauce, in a small bowl combine the peanut butter, rice vinegar, hot sauce, sweetener, soy sauce, garlic. Stir to combine. Add the water, while whisking to thin the sauce.
  • You can add chopped peanuts and red pepper flakes to on top of the sauce.
