Vegetable Spring Rolls

Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparing the Vegetable Spring Rolls

  1. 1

    Soak 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. Remove and lay it flat on a clean surface.

  2. 2

    Add Filling

    On the bottom third of the rice paper wrapper, place a small amount of julienned carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, cooked rice noodles, cilantro, and mint leaves.

  3. 3

    Roll the Wrapper

    Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it away from you tightly, like a burrito. Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers and filling.

Making the Dipping Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.

Serving the Appetizer

  1. 5

    Plate and Serve

    Arrange the vegetable spring rolls on a serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
