Fresh Vegan Rice Paper Roll Recipe

Packed with flavour these rolls make the perfect entree or summer main.

Ingredients

3 small red cabbage

leaves, shredded

2 zucchini

1/4 red capsicum

1/4 yellow capsicum

2 baby carrots

3 spring onions

1/2 avocado

3 sheets rice paper

For the dipping sauce:

1 tsp peanut butter

1 tsp soy sauce

Juice of 1 lime

1/2 tsp chilli paste

1/4 tsp coconut-blossom nectar (or agave or honey)

1/2 tsp fresh, finely chopped garlic

1/2 tsp fresh green chilli, seeds and pith removed, finely sliced

Method

Slice all vegetables into long, thin strips. Pour room-temperature water into a large bowl. Soak one sheet of rice paper at a time for 5 secs in the water. Remove and place on paper towel to soften for 10 secs.

Divide the rest of the ingredients among the 3 rice-paper sheets and fold to make 3 large Thai rice paper rolls.

For the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients and taste to make sure all the flavours are balanced to your liking (add a little less chilli and garlic to start with – you can always add the rest later). Serve rolls with the sauce.
