Instructions
- 1
First, prepare your peanut dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Gradually add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired creamy, pourable consistency. Set aside.
- 2
Next, prepare all your spring roll fillings. Make sure your vermicelli noodles are cooked and cooled. Shred carrots and cabbage, thinly slice cucumber, and have your fresh mint and cilantro leaves ready. If using tofu, ensure it's pressed and sliced or crumbled.
- 3
Set up your rolling station: Have a shallow dish or pie plate filled with warm water ready. Arrange all your prepared fillings and the rice paper wrappers around your workspace.
- 4
To assemble a spring roll: Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 15-20 seconds, or until it's pliable but not overly soft. It will continue to soften as you fill it.
- 5
Carefully lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface. Arrange a small amount of vermicelli noodles, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, mint, cilantro, and tofu in the center of the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving space on the sides.
- 6
Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up over the filling. Then, fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper up from the bottom, tucking in the ingredients as you go, until you have a neat, tight spring roll.
- 7
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings. If desired, garnish with chopped peanuts before serving.
- 8
Serve your freshly made spring rolls immediately with the creamy peanut dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Pro Tips
No cooking required! Make sure your ingredients are fresh and at the right temperature for the best result.
If you have a wok, use it. The high heat and shape create better texture and flavor development than a regular pan.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
