Fresh and vibrant avocado spring rolls filled with rice noodles and crisp vegetables, paired with a creamy zesty Thai peanut sauce. A light and satisfying dish perfect for a snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- 1 package rice noodles
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 2 avocados
- 12 basil leaves
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1/4 red cabbage
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (gluten-free or tamari)
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ginger powder
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of water and cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, being careful not to overcook.
- Drain and rinse the noodles with hot tap water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.
- Transfer noodles to a large bowl, add sesame oil, and mix well to prevent sticking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, water, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder until smooth.
- Slice avocados in half, remove pits, peel, and cut into thin strips.
- Wash and thinly slice the lettuce, basil, and red cabbage.
- Fill a large bowl or plate with warm water. Dip a spring roll wrapper briefly until softened, then place on a damp surface.
- Layer noodles, vegetables, and avocado slices on the lower third of the wrapper, then roll tightly.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve whole or sliced with peanut sauce.
Notes
- Do not over-soak the wrappers or they may tear.
- Keep finished rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
- Substitute almond butter for peanut butter if needed.
- Add tofu or shrimp for extra protein if desired.
- Best served fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 1 day.
