Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

Leave a Comment Jump to Recipe

This recipe for spring rolls with peanut sauce makes a lovely fresh snack or party appetizer. It requires no heat in the kitchen other than some warm water from the tap. They can be vegan, pescatarian and are gluten-free. I even have a recipe for grain-free spring rolls.

Spring Roll Fillings

I have filled these spring rolls with my favorite fresh vegetables. Feel free to mix it up with whichever fresh veggies you like best. I usually rummage around the fridge to see what I have. Cucumbers, bell peppers, bean sprouts, avocado, snap peas and cilantro are all great options. For some quick and easy fillings that require no chopping, use bagged shredded carrots, broccoli slaw or traditional cole slaw mix.

Add some thinly sliced firm tofu, shrimp or shredded chicken and make these spring rolls with peanut sauce a perfect summer meal.

Peanut Sauce Ingredients

This spring roll recipe includes a sweet and spicy peanut sauce that you can easily adjust to your flavor preferences.

Peanut Butter – I recommend using an unsweetened peanut butter so that you can better control the sweetness of the sauce. If you do use a sweetened one, taste the sauce before you add any sugar. If you have a nut allergy, sunflower butter is a good substitute. Cashew butter (my favorite) is perfect if you have a peanut allergy.

Chili Oil – Depending on your preference for heat level you may want to increase or decrease the amount. Even if you don’t like any heat, I still recommend adding some cayenne or chili oil. Spicy ingredients in small amounts can act as a great flavor enhancer, similar to salt.

Thai Fish sauce or vegan Coconut aminos adds a salty, umami flavor to this sauce.

How to Assemble Spring Rolls

Set up space on your counter top or a large cutting board or silicone mat and wet it down. This will help keep the spring rolls from sticking.

Fill a large bowl with very warm water. Submerge a sheet of rice paper completely and soak for about 10 seconds or until it is pliable (follow the directions on your rice paper package). Do not be tempted to leave it in too long. It will continue to soften once out of the water

Place the rice paper on the cutting board.

Place cilantro leaves and a piece of pepper or other veggie on the bottom of the rice paper. This will create a nice presentation when it is rolled up.

Roll it up and place on a plate lined with lettuce leaves. This will keep them from sticking to the plate.

Ingredients
  

  • 8 sheets of rice paper
  • 4 large leaves of lettuce

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter room temperature
  • 1/4 c lite coconut milk
  • 1 Tbsp Thai fish sauce or coconut aminos vegan
  • 1 Tbsp of your choice of sweetener coconut sugar, brown sugar, agave, honey
  • juice of 1/2 lime about 2-3 Tbsp
  • 1/2 tsp hot chili oil hot sauce or 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Filling

  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 c shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1 stalk green onion
  • 1/2 c broccoli slaw
  • fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

  • If your peanut butter is not soft, heat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • Mix all of the peanut sauce ingredients with a whisk until smooth. You can adjust the sweetness and/or spiciness to your liking.
  • Cut the bell pepper, green onion and cucumber into thin 1-2 inch strips.
  • Set up a large cutting board or space on your counter top and wet it down. This will help keep the spring rolls from sticking. Fill a large bowl with very warm water. Submerge a sheet of rice paper completely and soak for about 10 seconds or until it is pliable.
  • Place the rice paper on the cutting board. Spoon about 2 tsp of peanut sauce in the center of the rice paper and stack on a little bit of each vegetable along with a sprig of fresh cilantro.
  • Fold the top of the sheet over the filling.
  • Then fold the sides in.
  • Place a couple of cilantro leaves and a piece of pepper on the bottom of the rice paper. This will show nicely when it is rolled up.
  • Roll up and place on a plate lined with damp lettuce leaves. The lettuce will prevent them from sticking to the plate. They also will stick to each other so leave a little room in between them.
