Ingredients

  • 4 sheets rice paper
  • 1/2 mango sliced into strips
  • 1 small cucumber sliced into strips
  • 1/2 carrot sliced into strips
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • mint leaves
  • 1 oz. rice vermicelli noodles

Instructions

  • Wash and slice the vegetables. Cook the rice vermicelli noodles following the instructions on the package then let them cool.
  • Fill a large bowl with warm water and dip one piece of rice paper into the water for about 10 seconds until it becomes soft.
  • Place the softened rice paper on a clean surface and layer your ingredients in the center of it. Start with a few pieces of lettuce, followed by rice noodles, mint leaves, and other vegetables.
  • Carefully fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then fold the bottom over the filling. Roll tightly to form a spring roll. Serve the spring rolls with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

  • Dip each wrap in warm water for approximately 10 seconds, until it's pliable but not too soft. Don't oversoak them as they will continue to soften as you load up the filling.
  • A little filling goes a long way. Overstuffing might cause the wrapper to rip during the rolling process.
  • Keep the fillings secure by rolling as tightly as you can without tearing the paper.
  • Consider a mix of textures. Soft rice noodles, crunchy veggies, creamy avocado, and juicy mangoes all make for an interesting bite.
  • To prevent them from sticking together, place parchment or plastic wrap between each completed roll if you’re making a bunch.
