Ingredients
Scale
For Peanut Sauce
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon garlic chili sauce (optional)
For Spicy Hoisin Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
For Summer Rolls
- 10 - 12 rice paper
- 1 bundle of rice vermicelli noodle, cooked according to the package
- 1 small avocado
- 1/4-1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1/4-1/2 orange bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1/4-1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 small carrot, cut into match sticks
- 1/2 English cucumber, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
- 1 small apple, cut into strips
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for peanut sauce and set it aside. Do the same for spicy hoisin sauce.
- Cook the rice vermicelli noodle according to its package. Drain the noodle and rinse with cold water and set it aside.
- Prepare all the vegetable and cut into thin strips.
- Wet the rice paper quickly with water by submerging it in a big bowl of water. Take it out and place it on a glass plate. If you place it on a wooden board, the rice paper might stick to it. The rice paper should still feel pretty hard.
- Start piling all the vegetables, apple, and noodles on top of rice paper. It is always easy to roll the small size summer roll than a big one, especially if this is your first time. Try not to stuff your roll with too many ingredients.
- By the time when you are done piling all the ingredients, the rice paper should be soft to the touch.
- Wrap your roll like you would burrito.
- Place prepared rolls on a glass plate and assemble the rest of the rolls.
- Enjoy two different dipping sauces.
Notes
- You can customize these summer rolls in any way you'd like. Feel free to skip and/or add ingredients you might enjoy in the summer rolls.
- Chili garlic sauce in the peanut sauce is optional. I personally LOVE spicy food and I thought it would balance the sweetness of the peanut butter. You can use half the amount or skip it altogether.
