Vegetable Spring Rolls

Method

Vegetable Spring Rolls

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Julienne the carrots, slice the cucumber and red bell pepper into thin strips, and wash the cilantro and mint leaves.

  2. 2

    Soak the Rice Paper

    Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable. Remove and place it on a clean, flat surface.

  3. 3

    Fill the Wrapper

    Place a small amount of each vegetable, a handful of rice noodles, and a few cilantro and mint leaves in the center of the wrapper.

  4. 4

    Roll the Spring Roll

    Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, tucking in the filling as you go. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the spring rolls on a serving platter and serve with peanut dipping sauce and soy sauce.

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

  3. 8

    Stuff the Mushrooms

    Using a spoon, fill each mushroom cap with the cream cheese mixture, heaping it slightly on top.

  4. 9

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with black pepper.

  5. 10

    Bake
