I absolutely LOVE spring rolls, don’t you? These vegetable spring rolls are not only a great option when you’re trying to eat more veggies. They’re also a great option for using up any leftover veggies from your fridge. That’s exactly what I did today!
Here’s what happened. I had a mango that was ripe and ready to go. A bell pepper that was about to go bad, a cucumber, and carrots in my fridge. I needed to use all of these veggies before they spoiled. Sure I could’ve made a salad but what’s the fun in that. I had these rice paper wrappers so why not make SPRING ROLLS!
As if that weren’t enough, I made a spicy peanut sauce with Califia’s Unsweetened Almondmilk (soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, carrageenan-free, non-GMO, kosher, vegan, and BPA-free!) to seal the deal.
How to Make Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce
The beauty of making these fresh rolls is that they don’t have to be perfect. As a matter of fact, they probably won’t be but they sure were delicious!
First things first, you gotta make the spicy peanut sauce. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, almond milk, garlic, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), Thai chili paste, sesame oil, and lime juice until well combined.
You can add a teaspoon of water at a time if the sauce is too thick. I like my peanut sauce to be more on the thicker side. You do you! Also, if you want to add more heat, add another 1/2 tablespoon of the Thai chili paste.
Next, we chop up all the veggies. Like I mentioned above, I used what I had in my fridge. You can add any ingredient you want. This is a very DIY recipe. Here are some ideas:
- Carrots
- Cucumber
- Mango
- Avocado
- Red bell peppers
- Shredded red cabbage
- Mint
- Basil
- Cilantro
- Jalapeñ0
Once you’re ready to assemble, add an inch of room temperature water to a bowl. This is for soaking the rice paper wrappers.
Place one rice wrapper into the water and let soak for just 10-12 seconds. Transfer to a cutting board or a dish. The wrapper will continue to soften so make sure not to soak for more than 12 seconds. If it becomes too soft, it will be difficult to roll and may break.
Place a few slices of mango, red bell peppers, carrots, and cucumber in the center of the wrapper then roll the rice paper in and around the veggies into a roll. Here’s a quick video tutorial that can help you!
Can’t wait for you guys to try them!
