Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup julienned cucumber
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped
- Peanut Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2-4 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients for the spring rolls by cooking the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, shredding the lettuce, and julienning the carrots and cucumber.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds to soften. Place the wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
- In the center of the wrapper, layer a small handful of vermicelli noodles, lettuce, carrots, cucumber, mint, cilantro, and chopped peanuts.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, similar to a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
- To make the peanut dipping sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl. Gradually add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve the spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce on the side, and enjoy!
Thai Fresh Spring Rolls with peanut dipping sauce have a rich history rooted in Thai cuisine. This dish is a popular appetizer known for its fresh and vibrant flavors. The origins of this dish can be traced back to the streets of Thailand, where vendors would skillfully wrap fresh vegetables, herbs, and sometimes shrimp or tofu in delicate rice paper. The peanut dipping sauce, a creamy and savory accompaniment, adds a delightful contrast to the lightness of the spring rolls. Renowned Thai chefs and restaurants, such as those in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, have perfected the art of creating these delectable rolls. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Thai eateries that prioritize using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The key to making exceptional Thai Fresh Spring Rolls lies in the freshness of the ingredients, the delicate wrapping of the rice paper, and the balance of flavors in the peanut dipping sauce. While the traditional recipe calls for a peanut-based sauce, some variations may include a spicy chili kick or a hint of sweetness from palm sugar. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer or a light meal, Thai Fresh Spring Rolls with peanut dipping sauce continue to captivate food enthusiasts with their exquisite taste and cultural significance.
