Vegetable Spring Rolls
Peanut Dipping Sauce
Method
Vegetable Spring Rolls
Prepare the Vermicelli Noodles
Boil water in a pot and add the vermicelli noodles. Cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables
Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Set aside in a bowl.
Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, until it softens. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
Assemble the Spring Rolls
Place a lettuce leaf in the center of the softened rice paper wrapper. Add a small amount of vermicelli noodles, julienned vegetables, mint, and cilantro on top of the lettuce. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom up.
Repeat
Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling until all ingredients are used.
Serve
Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and serve with the peanut dipping sauce.
Peanut Dipping Sauce
Combine Ingredients
In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and water.
Adjust Consistency
Whisk until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water until desired consistency is reached.
Add Heat
Stir in chili flakes to taste.
Serve
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and serve alongside the vegetable spring rolls.
