Ingredients

Spring Rolls

  • 8 sheets rice paper wraps
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 small cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 pound shrimp cooked and sliced in half
  • 4 ounces rice noodles cooked and cooled

Peanut Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 2-3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey or 2 teaspoons for sweeter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Hoisin
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

How to Make Peanut Sauce

  • Start by adding the peanut butter, hoisin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and water.
  • You can mix up the ingredients and add the water to make it as thick or thin as you would like.

How to Make Spring Rolls

  • Cook your rice noodles as directed on the package. Then once done, drain and run under cold water.
  • Prep all of your vegetables ahead of time. Wash and slice thinly. I used my Juilenne slicer for carrots.
  • Fill a shallow pie pan with a few tablespoons of water. Then dip one of your rice paper wrappers in the water for about 15-20 seconds. You want the wrapper to be pliable. Don't let it get too soft.
  • Place a few slices of carrots, cucumbers, some noodles, and then shrimp on the bottom portion of the rice paper wrapper.
  • Begin rolling, wrapping tightly. Be gentle or it will tear the paper wrapper. Then Fold in the sides like a burrito and finish wrapping.
  • Cover with a damp paper towel and repeat the rest of the spring rolls.
  • Serve your fresh spring rolls with the homemade peanut sauce immediately.

Notes

Filling - Feel free to add different vegetables, cilantro, etc. 
Shrimp - You can leave the shrimp out if you want. You can replace with sliced chicken, steak, pork or do meatless. 
Storing - These are best eaten fresh. Cover in damp paper towels or it will dry out the wrapper. 
Peanut Free - Swap the peanut butter with an almond butter or sunflower butter. 
Vegan Spring Rolls - Leave the shrimp out and swap the honey with a maple syrup to make these vegan friendly.
