Fresh Vegan Spring Rolls with Satay Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
For the spring rolls:
- 100g vermicelli noodles
- 10g fresh coriander (finely chopped)
- 10g fresh mint (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp. light soy sauce
- 8 sheets round rice paper
- Water
- 1 carrot (peeled & julienned)
- ½ cucumber (julienned)
- 1 yellow pepper (julienned)
- 1 red pepper (julienned)
- ¼ red cabbage (julienned)
- Handful lettuce leaves
For the satay sauce:
- 125g All-Natural Peanut Butter (if you have a nut allergy, try switching this for tahini!)
- 1-piece fresh ginger (peeled & minced)
- 2 tbsp. lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp. sweet soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. sesame oil
- 4 tbsp. hoisin sauce
- 1 red chilli (finely chopped)
Method
- First, prepare the noodles by adding them to a large bowl and mixing through the chopped coriander, mint, and light sauce soy sauce. Set aside.
- Julienne (chop into thin strips) the different vegetable fillings into and lay them out alongside the round rice paper on a plate and the prepared noodle mix, so you are ready to build your spring rolls. You’ll also need a shallow bowl or dish of water prepared too.
- Next, fill a shallow bowl with water and soak a single sheet of rice paper briefly for 30 seconds.
- Remove the paper gently, being careful not to tear it, then place it on top of a damp, clean tea towel. This is a good surface to build your spring rolls on as it helps to prevent the rice paper ripping or sticking.
- Now you’re ready to build your spring rolls. Lay some of the fillings in the centre of the rice paper. Make sure to leave about a 2cm gap at either end of the fillings to give yourself room to fold the paper over. Top your veg with the lettuce leaves and noodle mix.
- Carefully fold over the paper so that the ends of the filling are covered up first, then roll from the bottom to wrap up the filling into a tight parcel.
- Repeat for the remaining ingredients until you have 8 spring rolls. Cut them in half and set aside while you make the satay sauce.
- To make the satay sauce, mix together the peanut butter, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil and chilli in a small bowl until the consistency is smooth and thick. Y
- Serve the fresh spring rolls with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
