Equipment
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 red bell pepper cut very thin like matchsticks
- 1 cucumber
- 1 carrot shredded
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 tofu extra firm, cut into strips
- sprouts
Dipping Sauce
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons tamari
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder optional
- rice paper wrappers
Instructions
- Fill a shallow dish that will fit the rice paper wraps with warm water.
- Set a rice paper wrap in the dish making sure the water goes over the top and let it sit for 10-15 seconds.
- Take the wrap out of the water and lay it flat on a cutting board.
- Start layering the vegetables on one side of the wrap about an inch from the edge, laying them all in the same direction about 3 inches long.
- Take the one inch edge and gently fold it over the veggies and start to roll forward slightly.
- Take the side edges and fold it over the roll towards the middle so that the ends are “tucked in”.
- Continue rolling the roll forward pressing the rice paper to itself.
- Place the rolls on a plate making sure not to stack them on each other or they will stick together.
- Continue making rolls until you have used all of the veggies or you have the amount that you want to eat.
- Whisk sauce ingredients together.

These are a delicious, quick and easy favorite. I mixed Lo Mein noodles with the veggies too.
I made this for my family and the rolls and dipping sauce were a huge hit. My daughter really loved the peanut sauce (I made the standard one for my family and a very spicy one for myself). I went to make them again a day or so later and enlisted my my son, who became adept at making the rolls himself. My son would take his finished rolls and air fry them. I didn’t taste the air fried ones, but my son thought it makes them taste better – to each his own.
add mint leaves and cilantro and that adds so much flavor
