Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 rice paper wrappers

  • 1 cup cooked rice vermicelli noodles

  • 1 small carrot, julienned

  • 1 small cucumber, julienned

  • ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup shredded purple cabbage

  • ½ avocado, sliced

  • A handful of cilantro or mint leaves

  • ½ cup firm tofu, sliced (optional)

  • ½ lime, cut into wedges

Peanut Dipping Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey

  • 1–2 tablespoons warm water (to thin)

  • Optional: minced garlic or chili flakes

Instructions

  • Prep the Vegetables and Noodles
    Slice all vegetables into thin matchsticks. Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package directions, then rinse and drain well.

  • Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers
    Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper for about 10 seconds, just until it becomes pliable.

  • Assemble the Roll Base
    Place the softened wrapper flat on a damp kitchen towel to prevent sticking.

  • Add the Fillings
    Arrange a small handful of noodles, sliced vegetables, herbs, and tofu (if using) in the center of the wrapper.

  • Fold and Roll Tightly
    Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll forward firmly to seal.

  • Repeat the Process
    Continue with the remaining wrappers and fillings until all rolls are assembled.

  • Make the Peanut Dipping Sauce
    In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup (or honey), and warm water until smooth.

  • Serve and Enjoy
    Arrange the rolls on a plate with peanut sauce and lime wedges. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

Notes

  • Keep your wrapping surface damp to prevent sticking.

  • Don’t overfill — it makes rolling easier.

  • Add mango or avocado for extra flavor.

  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored up to 24 hours in the fridge.
