Description
Fresh and nutritious veggie rolls filled with crisp vegetables, served with a rich, tangy peanut sauce. A light, flavorful appetizer or snack perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
– 8 rice paper wrappers
– 1 cup julienned carrots
– 1 cup julienned red bell pepper
– 1 cup julienned cucumber
– 1 cup shredded red cabbage
– 1 avocado, sliced
– A handful of fresh basil leaves
– A handful of fresh mint leaves
– A handful of fresh cilantro leaves
– Optional: cooked tofu strips for extra protein
Instructions
1. Wash and prepare all vegetables: peel and julienne the carrots, red bell pepper, and cucumber; shred the red cabbage; and slice the avocado.
2. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip each rice paper wrapper in the water for 10-15 seconds until softened.
3. Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface. In the center, arrange a small amount of each vegetable, add a few avocado slices, and top with fresh basil, mint, and cilantro. If using, add tofu strips.
4. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly.
5. Repeat the process with all wrappers and filling.
6. For the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, a drizzle of honey, a dash of water, and minced garlic until smooth. Adjust consistency with extra water if needed.
7. Serve the veggie rolls immediately with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
– Adjust the peanut sauce ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
– For best texture, serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
– Feel free to swap in other seasonal vegetables or herbs based on your availability.
