Description
These Fresh Spring Roll Wraps are crunchy, refreshing, and filled with fiber. Honestly, be careful with these, because you just might eat all in one sitting. This is my favorite snack to eat when I need something light and filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10 spring roll wrappers (I used Blue Dragon Vegan Spring Wrappers)
- 1 large carrot, cut into match sticks (in my opinion, shredded carrots won’t work well)
- 1 medium english cucumber, sliced into ribbons (use a potato peeler to make thin cucumber ribbons)
- 1/4 medium purple cabbage, sliced thin (use a potato peeler to shred or chop into thin slices)
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 pck Maifun Brown rice noodles (or you can use regular Maifun noodles, or rice vermicelli, I used Annie Chun’s Brown Rice Noodles, Maifun)
- 10 butter lettuce leaves
- a large bowl of water for dipping wrappers
- Savory Peanut Sauce
Instructions
- Prep veggies, then set aside in a large bowl or plate.
- Then, cook noodles according to box instructions. Drain and rinse in cold water, then train out liquid again. Let sit in the strainer or a bowl once drained.
- Set up your station to make the spring rolls. Lay out the noodles, chopped veggies, and wrappers. Place a large, clean lint free cloth on your work station.
- Dip spring roll wrapper in a large bowl of water, being sure to make sure the entire thing is coated in water, for about 20 seconds. Any longer and the wrapper will get soft and floppy.
- Place the moist wrapper on the large, lint free cloth. Leaving about 1 inch of open rice paper around the edges, lay 3-4 slices of cucumber at the tip of the wrapper. Then add a portion of rice noodles on top of the cucumber. Add a few carrot match sticks, red cabbage shreds, mint, and then cover the ingredients with the butter lettuce. This will hold it in place as you roll.Be sure not to over fill the wrapper.
- Holding the butter lettuce over the ingredients, fold the tip of the spring roll wrapper over the butter lettuce, and keep rolling halfway, until the wrappers touch. Then fold sides over, and continue to tuck and roll until fully encased. Then add to a plate.Think burrito here, and start at the tip of the wrapper, not the middle. That is the goal for how you are to wrap these spring rolls.
- Repeat and continue this process until all ingredients are finished. Then plate with peanut sauce and serve.
