Spring Rolls
Spring rolls are a delightful, fresh, and vibrant snack that's perfect for any occasion. With ingredients like crisp carrots, refreshing mint, and tender rice vermicelli, these rolls are not only healthy but also bursting with flavor.
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 3 ounces rice vermicelli uncooked
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, sliced
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, sliced
- 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
- 1 head romaine lettuce, sliced
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 12 rice papers, standard 22 cm
- Sweet Chili Sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Cook the vermicelli according to the package directions, rinse in cold water and carefully toss in the sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking together.
- Place the cooked noodles in a covered bowl in the fridge until the rest of the ingredients are ready to assemble.
- Prepare all the vegetables, leaves, and lettuces. Keep them all in separate bowls to prepare a work station. Remove the noodles from the fridge.
- Fill a pie dish or shallow bowl with warm water. Make sure you have a clean working surface next to the water and fillings such as a cutting board or flat platter.
- Take a rice paper out and submerge it in the dish of water until it is just pliable, about 12-15 seconds.
- Remove the rice paper from the water and allow any excess water to drip off. Place the rice paper on the work surface.
- Take a small bundle of the vermicelli and lay it on the lower ⅓ of the rice paper followed by the cilantro, mint, cabbage, romaine, carrots, and cucumber. These ingredients should fill about 12 papers so split the ingredients accordingly.
- Roll the paper up over the ingredients as tight as you can without tearing the sheet until you’ve reached halfway up the paper.
- Fold the sides of the rice paper in on itself and continue rolling the rest of the rice paper up until you have a tight cylinder.
- Continue this process until all the fillings have been used. You should get about 12 spring rolls.
- Serve fresh with Sweet Chili Sauce.
