Ingredients
10 rice paper wrappers
1 cup julienned carrots
1 cup julienned cucumber
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash and slice all vegetables into thin strips. If using vermicelli noodles, cook them according to package instructions and let them cool. Arrange all ingredients in an assembly line for ease.
2. Fill a large shallow bowl or plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for 10–15 seconds until just pliable, then lay it flat on a damp clean kitchen towel or cutting board.
3. Place a small amount of each filling near the bottom third of the wrapper. Be careful not to overstuff.
4. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the fillings, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to the top. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
5. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce—soy ginger, hoisin-peanut, or sweet chili.
Notes
Don’t over-soak the rice paper—just enough to soften it makes rolling easier.
You can swap in any crunchy veggie you like—zucchini, lettuce, or radish slices work great.
Keep leftovers fresh by wrapping them individually and storing in the fridge for up to 2 days.
