Ingredients:​

  • 12 rice paper wrappers (available at most Asian grocery stores)
  • 1 cup cooked rice noodles (or vermicelli)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (such as Romaine or butter lettuce)
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup julienned cucumbers
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup fresh herbs (such as cilantro, mint, or basil)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Dipping Sauce (Optional):​

  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp water (to thin out the sauce)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional, for extra tang)
  • 1-2 tbsp chopped peanuts (optional, for added texture)

Instructions:​

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:
    • Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
    • Wash and prepare all the vegetables and herbs.
    • Slice the avocado if using.
  2. Prepare the Rice Paper Wrappers:
    • Fill a shallow dish or a large plate with warm water.
    • Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes pliable. Be careful not to soak it too long, as it can become too soft and tear easily.
    • Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface, like a cutting board.
  3. Assemble the Rolls:
    • On the lower third of the rice paper wrapper, place a small amount of rice noodles.
    • Layer on some shredded lettuce, julienned carrots, cucumbers, bean sprouts, red bell pepper, and herbs. Add a few slices of avocado if using.
    • Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a neat roll.
  4. Make the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
    • In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and water until smooth.
    • Adjust the consistency with more water if needed. Add rice vinegar for extra tang, if desired.
    • Stir in chopped peanuts for added texture, if you like.
  5. Serve:
    • Place the finished rolls on a serving platter.
    • Serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:​

  • Freshness: Keep the rolls covered with a damp cloth if you’re making them ahead of time to prevent them from drying out.
  • Customization: Feel free to add other veggies like sliced radishes, mushrooms, or avocado. Tofu or tempeh can also be added for extra protein.
  • Dipping Sauce Variations: You can use a store-bought peanut sauce or a simple soy sauce and rice vinegar mix if you prefer something quicker.
