Cuisine: Vietnamese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- Rice paper wrappers
- Rice noodles
- Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro)
- Vegetables (carrots, cucumber, bell pepper)
- Peanut butter
- Soy sauce
- Lime juice
- Garlic (minced)
- Water (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and finely julienning the vegetables (carrots, cucumber, bell pepper) into thin, long strips.
- Cook rice noodles according to package instructions, then rinse with cold water and drain completely. Set aside.
- Wash and roughly chop fresh herbs (mint and cilantro), keeping them ready for filling.
- Create peanut sauce by whisking together peanut butter, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and a little water to achieve a smooth, dippable consistency.
- Fill a large, flat dish with warm water for softening rice paper wrappers.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper into warm water for 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable but not completely soft.
- Lay softened wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel and begin assembling by placing herbs, vegetables, and rice noodles in the center.
- Carefully fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a neat summer roll.
- Repeat the process until all ingredients are used, keeping prepared rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- Serve immediately with prepared peanut sauce for dipping.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the vegetables and herbs a day in advance. Just store them in airtight containers in the fridge to keep them fresh.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative with your fillings! Add shrimp, chicken, or tofu for extra protein, or include other veggies like bell peppers or avocado for a twist.
- Perfecting the Rice Paper: When dipping the rice paper, don’t leave it in the water for too long—just 10-15 seconds is enough. It should be pliable but still slightly firm, as it will continue to soften when you fill and roll it.
- Keep Them Moist: As you assemble the rolls, cover the finished ones with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out before serving.
- Serving Suggestions: These summer rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also serve them with additional dipping sauces like hoisin or sweet chili for extra flavor.
- Make It a Meal: Pair your summer rolls with a light salad or a bowl of pho for a complete Vietnamese-inspired feast!
