Ingredients

Instructions

1. Wash and dry all vegetables and herbs, then thinly slice the scallions, bell peppers, and cucumber. Shred the carrots if needed and set them aside.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, grated ginger, sesame oil, tamari, and maple syrup. Gradually add warm water until smooth and creamy, then stir in sriracha if using. Adjust the consistency based on your preference.

3. Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water and set up a clean work surface using a cutting board or damp towel.

4. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10–15 seconds until it softens slightly, then lay it flat on your surface.

5. Layer a piece of Bibb lettuce, a small handful of sliced vegetables, and fresh herbs on the lower third of the wrapper, being careful not to overfill.

6. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly upward until sealed, similar to a burrito.

7. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients until all rolls are assembled.

8. Serve immediately with the peanut ginger sauce for dipping, or slice in half for an easy, shareable presentation.

Time-Saving Tips

• Use pre-shredded carrots to cut down on prep time.
  
• Prep all vegetables ahead and store in the fridge for quick assembly later.
  
• Double the sauce and keep it on hand for salads or grain bowls.
  
• Work with one rice paper at a time to prevent sticking or tearing.

Ingredient Substitutions & Variations

You can easily customize these rolls based on what you have. Swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter if needed. Add tofu, shrimp, or edamame for extra protein. Try different herbs like mint for a fresh twist, or include thin rice noodles for a more filling option.

Storage & Meal-Prep Notes

Spring rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Wrap them individually in damp paper towels and store in an airtight container to prevent drying out. The sauce can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. Stir before serving.

Serving Ideas or Pairings

Pair these spring rolls with a simple soup, like a light miso or vegetable broth, for a more complete meal. They also work well alongside a grain bowl or a protein like grilled tofu or fish. For gatherings, arrange them on a platter with extra sauce for dipping.
