Equipment

  • Stove

Ingredients

  • 8 brown rice paper wraps
  • 4 oz brown rice vermicilli or stir-fry noodles
  • 1 cup purple cabbage julienned
  • 2 carrots shaved into ribbons
  • 8 butter lettuce leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup fresh min
  • 1 large bell pepper julienned
  • 1 cup cucumber julienned
  • 1 cup snow peas ends removed
  • 1/4 cup green onion greens only

Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 TBSP rice wine vinegar
  • 2 TBSP soy sauce or tamari if gluten free
  • 2 TBSP honey
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 TBSP garlic paste
  • water as needed 2-3 TBSP

Instructions

  • Heat water in a pot on the stove and add brown rice noodles to soften for roughly 5 minutes. Once pliable, remove from the stove and rinse under cold water to stop cooking further.
  • Prep all the veggies, including the cabbage, bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, mint, cilantro, snow peas, and green onion.
  • Next, prepare the peanut dipping sauce. Add the peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, and garlic to a small bowl. Combine until a smooth sauce appears. If the sauce is too thick, it can be thinned with 1-2 TBSP of warm water.
  • Run some warm tap water from the sink and fill a pie pan or baking dish – it needs to be large enough to dip the brown rice paper wrappers into the dish to soften.
  • When ready, dip each rice paper wrapper into the warm water. It does not need to be left long, perhaps only a minute. Remove the wrapper from the water. Working quickly, lay down a small amount of brown rice noodles and all the desired veggies at the edge of the wrapper. Then, fold the wrapper like a small burrito, trying to avoid ripping or tearing the wrapper. The wrapper is tacky and sticky and will seal itself once wrapped.
  • Once you have wrapped all the summer rolls, serve it with a side of the peanut sauce. This dish is light and refreshing! Enjoy.
