Equipment

  • Large Shallow Dish
  • Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rice noodles
  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers any color
  • 1 cup cucumber julienned
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice Noodles

  • Start by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Soak them in hot water for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still slightly firm. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

Prepare the Vegetables and Herbs

  • While noodles soak, shred the carrots, thinly slice bell peppers, julienne cucumber, and wash and pat dry mint and cilantro leaves. Slice avocado just before assembling.

Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers

  • Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper for 10-15 seconds until softened but still slightly firm. Lay flat on a damp towel or cutting board.

Assemble the Veggie Spring Rolls

  • In the center of the wrapper, layer a small handful of rice noodles, shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, cucumber, mint, and cilantro leaves. Top with avocado slices. Avoid overfilling.

Roll Them Up

  • Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, tucking the filling tightly. The wrapper will stick to itself to seal the roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Make the Dipping Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice together. This sauce adds tang and savory notes to the rolls.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the Veggie Spring Rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side for best crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Store prepped veggies, herbs, and noodles separately in airtight containers until assembly to maintain freshness.
  • Cover assembled rolls tightly with plastic wrap and place a damp paper towel over them to prevent drying out.
  • Use warm water and dip rice paper briefly to avoid tearing wrappers.
  • Customize rolls seasonally by adding fruits or roasted vegetables for added flavor and texture.
