Delicious Vegan Spring Rolls
Ingredients:
– 8 rice paper wrappers
– 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
– 1 large carrot, julienned
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
– 1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles
– Fresh mint leaves
– Fresh cilantro leaves
For the dipping sauce:
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon grated ginger
– Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare all the vegetables by shredding, slicing, and julienning them into thin strips. Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions and set aside to cool.
2. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for about 15-20 seconds until it softens. Place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel or a smooth surface.
3. Start by layering a small amount of purple cabbage on the bottom third of the rice paper wrapper, leaving some space at the edges to fold.
4. Add a small amount of julienned carrots, sliced bell pepper, cucumber, vermicelli noodles, a couple of mint leaves, and a few cilantro leaves on top of the cabbage.
5. Gently fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to enclose the filling, similar to a burrito.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.
7. To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl until well combined.
8. Serve the vegan spring rolls with the dipping sauce on the side and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
