ingredients
Steps
Preparation
Cook the rice vermicelli according to package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water. Julienne the carrots and cucumber, thinly slice the bell pepper, and prepare the lettuce leaves and fresh herbs.
Peanut Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and water. Mix until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach your desired consistency. If you like it spicy, stir in the chili flakes.
Assemble Rolls
Prepare a large, shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 15-20 seconds until it's soft and pliable. Place it on a clean cutting board or plate. On the bottom third of the wrapper, place a lettuce leaf, then a small amount of rice vermicelli, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and a few mint/cilantro leaves.
Roll Them Up
Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the two sides. Tightly roll the wrapper up to the top. Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper and filling. Serve the fresh spring rolls immediately with the creamy peanut sauce.
Extra Tips
► Don't over-soak the rice paper, as it tears easily; just soak it until it's pliable.
► Experiment with vegetables! You can add avocado, red cabbage, or even mango for more exciting flavors.
► Serve the rolls immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.
