Fresh Spring Rolls
Recipe Courtesy of Love and Lemons
Fresh veggies, herbs, and peanut noodles pack these spring rolls with tangy, bright & refreshing flavors. They’re a delicious light lunch or appetizer!
Spring rolls are my favorite thing to make when I’m craving something light and healthy, but totally fun. I love stuffing rice paper wrappers with lots of fresh produce, mixing together a flavorful dipping sauce, and digging in! For this Vietnamese spring roll recipe, I toss noodles with an easy, sweet and savory peanut sauce made of peanut butter, sriracha, tamari, and a drop of maple syrup. Then, I roll the noodles into wrappers with avocado, sautéed mushrooms, green onion, and fresh basil and mint.
Ingredients
For the mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup enoki or sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon tamari
For the spring rolls:
- 4 ounces cooked soba or rice noodles
- Peanut Sauce
- 4 Vietnamese rice spring roll wrappers*
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh basil & mint leaves
- 1/4 cup microgreens
- Tamari, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the tamari and toss. Set aside.
- Toss the noodles with a few spoonfuls of the peanut sauce until they’re well coated.
- One at a time, dip the rice paper wrappers into warm water for 5 seconds. Remove and place on a clean towel.
- Place the noodles, mushrooms, avocado, herbs, and microgreens in the center of the rice paper. Wrap & tuck the sides, then the bottom flap, and then carefully roll until the wrapper is tightly closed.
- Serve with extra peanut sauce and tamari for dipping.
