Ingredient Breakdown

100 g Rice Noodles
2 Medium Carrots, Julienned
1 Medium Cucumber, Julienned
1 Medium Bell Pepper, Thinly Sliced
1/4 Cup Fresh Herbs (Mint or Cilantro)
8 Lettuce Leaves
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice

Let’s Get Cooking!

Prepare the Rice Noodles (About 10 minutes)
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the rice noodles and cook until just tender, usually about 3-5 minutes.
- Drain them in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. This helps ‘loosen’ them up, and make them easier to handle.
Prepare the Veggies (About 5 minutes)
- While the noodles are cooking, julienne your carrots and cucumber. Slice your bell pepper too. Isn’t it fun to watch those colors come together?
- Transfer everything to a big mixing bowl along with the fresh herbs, and toss it around!
Preparing the Wrappers (About 10 minutes)
- Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrap in the bowl for about 30 seconds until it starts to soften.
- Pro tip: Don’t soak them all the way through. They’ll continue to soften once you load up your spring roll!
Assemble the Rolls (About 10 minutes)
- On the softened rice paper, lay down a leaf of lettuce, a scoop of the noodle mixture, followed by a sprinkling of the rest of your veggies.
- Fold in the sides and then tightly roll it up, like a burrito.
- Repeat this process until all your ingredients are wrapped up.
Serving (Ready to enjoy!)
- Serve your crispy rice paper spring rolls with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. You could also whip up a spicy peanut sauce if you want to elevate it a notch!

Whip together a simple dipping sauce with soy sauce, lime juice, and a touch of sriracha for some spicy zing!

Storage

These spring rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but they will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure you place them in an airtight container separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
