Ingredients

  • 10 Vietnamese Spring Roll Wrappers (8 ½” diameter…have extra, in case some break while prepping)
  • 4 lettuce leaves (shredded/thinly sliced)
  • 1 carrot (peeled and grated)
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves (optional)
  • 4 ounces rice vermicelli noodles (this is pre-cooked weight. Cook or soak per package directions)
  • 4 ounces bean sprouts
  • ¼ english cucumber (thin julienne slices/cut into matchsticks)
  • scallions (or chives, cut into 3-inch lengths )

Instructions

  • Dip the rice wrappers, to prepare one roll at a time, into a bowl of warm water for 10-15 seconds to soften 
  • Place shredded lettuce leaves 2-inches above the bottom of the wrapper, and layer on the toppings, finishing with the noodles on top
  • Tightly roll the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, until it's approximately ⅔ rolled up. Fold in the sides, and continue rolling it until it’s sealed
  • Serve with dipping and/or peanut sauce

Notes

Note: If you're not serving these immediately, wrap them securely in plastic wrap, to keep them from drying out. They'll last, refrigerated, for at least 1 day
Other additions to the spring rolls: marinated sautéed sliced tofu, cooked shrimp, thinly sliced red pepper, thinly sliced grilled chicken, and more! Whatever you’d like, actually.
