Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 200 grams Cooked rice noodles
- 1 large, julienned Carrot
- 1 medium, julienned Cucumber
- 1 medium, julienned Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 6 large, halved Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Unsalted peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
Instructions
Prepare all the filling ingredients by julienning the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper, and have the herbs ready by plucking the mint and cilantro leaves from their stems.
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, then rinse under cold water and drain well.
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, immerse it in the water for about 10-15 seconds or until it becomes pliable.
Place the softened rice paper wrapper on a damp towel or cutting board. Arrange a small amount of rice noodles, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, a couple of mint and cilantro leaves, and half a lettuce leaf in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly but gently. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
For the spicy peanut sauce, combine the peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, water, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Serve the rice wraps with the spicy peanut sauce for dipping.
