Ingredients
Scale
- 8 rice paper sheets
- 8 large basil leaves (or cilantro)
- 6 large butter lettuce leaves
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced thin)
- 1/4 head red cabbage (shredded)
- 1 medium english cucumber (sliced into thin, 2-3″ long matchsticks)
- 1/4 cup green onion (sliced thin)
Instructions
- Submerge one sheet of rice paper at a time for 5 seconds to soften. Remove it and set aside for 10-15 seconds.
- On the lower middle section of the rice paper wrap, place the ingredients. First, a basil leaf, a few pieces of lettuce and cucumber, carrots and bell pepper, some shredded cabbage, and some green onion.
- Bring up the smaller end of the rice paper to wrap tightly over the vegetables. Next, bring the sides of rice paper over. Roll tightly until you get to the end of rice paper wrapper. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Serve with peanut sauce.
Notes
- Variations: Feel free to add or substitute the vegetables based on your preference. Adding protein like tofu, shrimp, or chicken can make these spring rolls more filling.
- Sauce Options: Peanut sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or hoisin sauce for different flavors.
- Prep Ahead: All the veggies can be prepped ahead of time and stored in the fridge, making assembly quick and easy when you’re ready to eat.
- Storing: Avoid stacking spring rolls directly on top of each other, as the rice paper can stick together. If you need to stack, use parchment paper in between layers.
