Ingredients
Scale
- 6 rice wrappers
- 1 cup of rice noodles or vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 cup of baby bok choy
- 1 cup of carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 cup of bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
- ½ cup of radishes, thinly sliced
- ½ cup of pea pods
- ⅓ cup of mint leaves
- ½ cup of creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- ⅓ cup of tamari
- ½ teaspoon of sriracha or chili paste
- 2 tablespoons of organic granulated sugar or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon of grated fresh ginger
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash and thinly slice the baby bok choy, carrots, cucumbers, red cabbage, bell peppers, radishes, and pea pods. Set aside.
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the rice noodles or vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Make the peanut sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, rice vinegar, tamari, sriracha, organic sugar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
- Soften the rice wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds, until it becomes soft and pliable. Carefully remove it, allowing excess water to drip off.
- Fill the wrapper: Place the softened rice wrapper on a clean work surface. In the center, layer a small amount of rice noodles, followed by the sliced vegetables and mint leaves.
- Roll it up: Starting from the bottom, fold the edge of the rice wrapper over the filling tightly. Then fold in the sides, and continue rolling until you have a tight cylinder. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
- Serve: Arrange the summer rolls on a platter and serve with the peanut sauce for dipping.
