Ingredients

For the Rice Paper Rolls:

  • 8-10 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles (optional)
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber, julienned
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, or basil)
  • Leafy greens (lettuce or spinach)

For the Satay Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter for a nut-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • Water to thin the sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and prepare all your vegetables and herbs. Set them aside for easy assembly.
  2. Make the Satay Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and sriracha. Gradually add water until you reach your desired consistency. It should be smooth and creamy but not too thick. Set aside.
  3. 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 becomes pliable. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: On the lower third of the rice paper, layer a few pieces of vermicelli noodles (if using), a handful of julienned carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, leafy greens, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Be careful not to overfill!
  5. Roll It Up: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
  6. Serve: Arrange the rice paper rolls on a platter and serve with the satay sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

Tips for Customization

  • Protein Options: Add tofu, tempeh, or edamame for an extra protein boost.
  • Veggies: Use whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand, such as radishes, zucchini, or sprouts.
  • Storage: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge with a damp paper towel to keep them from drying out.
