Easy Peanut Dipping Sauce
My favorite part of spring rolls is the peanut sauce - it is rich, sweet, and so delicious - I can't ever get enough!
To make this sauce you'll combine:
- ½-¾ cup of low-sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup of creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- 1 teaspoon of sriracha
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil

How To Use Rice Paper
When you buy rice paper, it needs to soak properly to become soft, easy to chew, and easy to fold.
To do get rice paper to be pliable and have the best texture, it needs to soak before using.
Fill a plate with water then dip the rice paper in.
Flip it over, then flip it over again, and let it soak until it is soft.
Repeat with other sheets of rice paper as you assemble rolls - I like to soak one sheet while filling another.
How To Fill a Spring Roll
Remove rice paper from the water after soaking, and set it on a plate spread out.
Slice a piece of lettuce in half and add it to the center of the spring roll wrapper then add a handful of vermicelli noodles on top, then add a handful of cabbage, then a few cucumber slices, then a few carrot slices, a few slices of jalapeño and a sprinkle of cilantro.
A big part of spring rolls is how pretty and vibrant they are - so try to take extra care when assembling your spring rolls, since the rice paper is slightly see through.
I try to keep really tidy layers when making spring rolls - it looks better, and helps the roll to stay tightly rolled together.
How to Roll Spring Roll
Rolling a spring roll is a lot like a burrito - you'll fold in the ends and roll, so that it completely closes the roll and stays tight.
Fold in the sides then roll it up gently to prevent the rice paper from tearing.
Rice paper can tear - so try to be careful.
