Ingredients:
For the Rolls:
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 avocado, sliced thin
- Fresh mint leaves
- Fresh cilantro leaves
For the Peanut Sauce:
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or honey)
🔥 Instructions:
1️⃣ Make the Peanut Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and maple syrup.
- Add a splash of warm water as needed to thin it out to a smooth, dippable consistency.
- Set aside.
2️⃣ Prepare the Veggies:
- Wash and cut all your vegetables: shred the cabbage, julienne the carrot and cucumber, and slice the avocado thinly.
- Pick fresh mint and cilantro leaves off the stems.
3️⃣ Assemble the Rolls:
- Fill a shallow dish (like a large plate or pie dish) with warm water.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 5–10 seconds until just pliable (it will continue to soften as you work).
- Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface.
- In the center, layer a small handful of cabbage, carrot, cucumber, a few slices of avocado, and some mint and cilantro leaves.
4️⃣ Roll It Up:
- Fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling.
- Fold in the sides, then roll tightly (like a burrito).
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
5️⃣ Serve:
- Arrange the veggie rolls on a plate.
- Serve with the peanut sauce for dipping.
✨ Tips & Variations:
- Add protein: Add shrimp, tofu, or grilled chicken for a heartier roll.
- Make it spicy: Add a little sriracha to the peanut sauce or thin slices of jalapeño inside the rolls.
- Extra crunch: Toss in some shredded lettuce or thinly sliced radish for more texture.
- Storage: Wrap individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days — perfect for meal prep!
