Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare 8 rice paper wrappers by soaking each individually in warm water for about 15 seconds until pliable but not overly soft. Lay each on a clean flat surface.
  2. Step 2: On the bottom third of each wrapper, layer 1/8 of 1 medium julienned carrot, 1/8 of 1 medium julienned cucumber, 1/8 of 1 medium julienned red bell pepper, 2 tbsp thinly sliced purple cabbage, a few fresh mint leaves, a few fresh cilantro leaves, and 2 tbsp cooked rice vermicelli noodles.
  3. Step 3: Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from bottom to top to seal the spring roll. Repeat for all 8 wrappers.
  4. Step 4: For the dipping sauce, whisk together 1/3 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 2 tbsp warm water until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Serve the spring rolls chilled with the peanut dipping sauce sprinkled with 2 tbsp crushed peanuts for added texture.
