Ingredients

Scale

Spring Rolls

  • 12 spring roll wrappers
  • 1 package rice noodles
  • ¼ cup sesame oil
  • 2 avocados
  • 12 basil leaves
  • 1 head Romaine lettuce
  • ¼ red cabbage

Thai Peanut Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (gluten-free or tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ginger powder

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Boil a large pot of water and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, being careful not to overcook them.
  2. Drain and Rinse: Drain the noodles and rinse with hot tap water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch, which ensures the noodles don’t stick together.
  3. Toss with Sesame Oil: In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles with sesame oil and mix well to add flavor and prevent clumping.
  4. Prepare Thai Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, water, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Slice Avocado: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, peel, and slice into thin strips with the cut side down.
  6. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and thinly slice Romaine lettuce, basil leaves, and red cabbage into thin strips.
  7. Soften Wrappers: Pour warm water into a shallow bowl. Dip each spring roll wrapper in the water for a few seconds until it softens, then place on a clean, slightly damp surface.
  8. Assemble Rolls: On the bottom third of the softened wrapper, add a small handful of rice noodles, a selection of veggies, and 2 slices of avocado. Avoid overfilling to make rolling easier.
  9. Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the wrapper tightly over the filling. Optionally, slice rolls in half to show the colorful filling. Serve immediately with the zesty Thai peanut sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Rice noodles cook quickly; be careful not to overcook to avoid mushy texture.
  • Use warm water to soften spring roll wrappers for easy rolling without tearing.
  • Customize fillings with other fresh herbs like mint or cilantro for extra flavor.
  • Store assembled rolls covered with a damp cloth in the refrigerator and consume within a few hours for best freshness.
  • The peanut sauce can be doubled and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
