Vegetable Spring Rolls With Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe

Vegetable Spring Rolls with Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe
Serves 6

Wraps
Ingredients:
16 rice paper wrappers
2 ounces bean thread noodles
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into thin strips
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 carrots, shredded
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips
1 bunch radishes, sliced thinly
1 cup mung bean sprouts (optional)
¼ cup fresh cilantro
16 Thai basil leaves
24 fresh mint leaves

Method:
1. Pour boiling water over the bean thread noodles. Let sit for 5 minutes. Strain and cool
2. Once you have prepped all the other ingredients, fill a vessel large enough to fit the wrappers with warm water. One by one, run the rice paper wraps through the water to moisten, and lay them on a clean work surface. The wrappers do need to soak
3. To make a wrap, place one moistened wrapper in front of you. Lay a second down so that it overlaps a little with the first and makes an “8”.
Lay a small amount of each ingredient on the wrapper closest to you. Do not overfill
4. Roll it up by first folding the end closest to you. Then fold in the sides. Continue to fold and tuck as tightly as you can until you reach the top of the second wrapper
5. To serve, slice diagonally and serve with Thai Peanut Sauce
