Bite into crunchy fresh vegetables, soft vermicelli noodles, creamy avocado, mint and cilantro paired with a spicy peanut sauce.

Ingredients

  • 8-10 whole rice papers (can also find on Amazon here)

  • ¼ cup julienned cucumber

  • ¼ cup julienned sweet bell pepper

  • ¼ cup purple cabbage

  • 1 avocado sliced

  • 4 ounces vermicelli or rice noodles

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro

  • 1 bunch fresh mint

Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter

  • 1 tbsp tamari or soya sauce

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • ½ – 1 tsp siracha (depending on how spicy you like it)

  • Hot water (to thin)

Instructions

  1. Meanwhile prep vegetables, mint and cilantro. Lay in a row for easy access while rolling the summer roll.

  2. Prepare spicy peanut sauce by combining all ingredients together except water in a small mixing bowl.  Whisk to combine.  Add enough water until a dippable sauce is achieved.  Adjust flavours as needed, adding more maple syrup or siracha if needed.  

  3. To assemble summer rolls, pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse rice paper to soften for about 10-15 seconds.

  4. Transfer to a damp towel or cutting board and gently spread out the edges to into a circle. Be careful not to let the paper touch because it is very sticky.

  5. Add 2 or 3 mint leaves in a line on the bottom third of the wrapper. Top with a small handful of vermicelli noodles, a layer: carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, cabbage, avocado and cilantro.

  6. Gently fold over once, tuck in edges and continue rolling until the seam is sealed.

  7. Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with a damp towel to keep fresh. Repeat until filling is used up.

  8. Leftovers store well individually wrapped in plastic wrap, though best when fresh.
