Vegetable Rolls with Soy Sauce

Ingredients

• For the Rolls:

  • 4-6 rice paper wrappers (available in Asian grocery stores)
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and lettuce)
  • ½ cup cooked vermicelli noodles (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., mint, cilantro, or basil)
  • Optional protein (tofu, shrimp, or chicken)

• For the Dipping Sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes or chili sauce (optional, for heat)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:

   • Wash and chop the mixed vegetables into thin strips.
   • If using vermicelli noodles, cook them according to package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water.

2. Make the Dipping Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey/maple syrup. Adjust to taste. Add red pepper flakes or chili sauce for extra heat if desired.

3. Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers:

   • Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes pliable but not too soft. Remove it and place it on a clean, damp surface or a cutting board.

4. Assemble the Rolls:

   • Place a small amount of mixed vegetables (and optional vermicelli noodles or protein) in the center of the rice paper wrapper.
   • Add a few fresh herbs on top.
   • Fold the sides of the wrapper inward over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling completely. Make sure it's tight but not too tight, as the wrapper can tear.

5. Repeat:

   • Continue the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.

6. Serve:

   • Arrange the vegetable rolls on a plate and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

Tips

• You can customize the filling based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
• For a crunchier texture, consider adding sliced radishes or sprouts.
• These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours. Just keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
