Rice paper wrappers are light and easy to work with. They hold everything together without overpowering the flavors. Vermicelli noodles add a nice texture and fill the rolls well. For vegetables, I love using julienned cucumber, bell peppers, carrot, and purple cabbage. They not only look great but also add crunch and taste. Sliced avocado gives a creamy texture, which balances the crisp veggies. Fresh herbs like mint and cilantro add a burst of flavor. Season your rolls with sesame oil and a pinch of salt. This simple seasoning enhances the vegetables' natural taste. You can choose your favorite dipping sauce, like peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce, to pair with the rolls. This complete list of ingredients sets you up for a fun and tasty cooking experience. For the full recipe, check out the instructions that follow! To start, cook the vermicelli noodles. Follow the package instructions closely. Once cooked, drain them well and set aside. They should be soft but not mushy. Next, julienne your vegetables. Slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and carrot into thin strips. Make sure they are uniform for even rolling. Thinly slice the purple cabbage. Cut the avocado into thin slices. This adds richness to your spring rolls. Now, wash your fresh herbs. Take a handful of mint leaves and cilantro leaves. These will add a burst of flavor to your rolls. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10 to 15 seconds. You want it to be soft and easy to handle. Lay it flat on a clean cutting board. In the center of the softened rice paper, layer a small amount of vermicelli noodles. Add a colorful mix of the julienned vegetables. Place a few avocado slices on top, then sprinkle a few mint and cilantro leaves. Drizzle a tiny bit of sesame oil over the fillings. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. To roll, fold the sides of the wrapper inward. Start from the bottom and carefully roll it up tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Repeat this for the remaining rice paper wrappers. For a great presentation, arrange the spring rolls on a large platter. Garnish with extra cilantro and mint leaves. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce, like peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce, in small bowls on the side. This makes for a vibrant and inviting display. Enjoy your colorful and tasty spring rolls! To roll spring rolls well, you need the right moisture level. Dip the rice paper in warm water for about 10-15 seconds. It should feel soft but not soggy. Lay it flat on your board. If it's too dry, it may tear. If it's too wet, it will stick to itself. To avoid tearing, handle the rice paper gently. Don't pull too hard as you roll. Keep the filling in the center. This helps the wrapper close easily. Tuck in the sides before rolling from the bottom up. Using flavorful fillings makes your spring rolls pop. Mix the colors and textures for a fun bite. Add crunchy veggies like bell peppers and carrots. Creamy avocado will balance the crunch. Fresh herbs like mint and cilantro add brightness. You can also incorporate seasonings. A splash of sesame oil adds a nutty flavor. A pinch of salt enhances all the tastes. For storing spring rolls, keep them fresh. If you make them ahead, cover them with a damp cloth. This prevents them from drying out. You can also place them in an airtight container. To keep them fresh, eat within a day. If you need to store longer, consider refrigerating. Just remember that the rice paper may soften. Enjoy your rainbow veggie spring rolls with your favorite dipping sauce! Check out the Full Recipe for more details. {{image_2}} You can make your spring rolls even better by adding proteins. Tofu and shrimp are great choices. Tofu gives a nice texture, while shrimp adds a sweet flavor. Simply cook the shrimp until it turns pink or sauté the tofu until golden. If you don’t have certain vegetables, swap them out! Use whatever you have in your fridge. Broccoli, spinach, or even sweet potatoes can work well. The key is to keep the colors bright and the flavors fresh. Dipping sauces can change the entire dish. A homemade peanut sauce is easy to make and tastes amazing. Just mix peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and a bit of honey. If you want something sweet, sweet chili sauce is a perfect match. You can buy it or make your own by mixing sugar, vinegar, and chili flakes. Experiment with these to find your favorite! Spring rolls are not just a snack; they can be a whole meal! Serve them with a side of rice or a salad for a filling dish. You could pair them with a fresh fruit salad, too. This adds a sweet touch that complements the rolls. For a fun twist, serve them with some crunchy nuts or seeds on the side. This makes for a colorful and tasty meal that everyone will love. Check out the Full Recipe to start making your own! To keep your leftover spring rolls fresh, place them in an airtight container. You can refrigerate them for up to three days. If you want to reheat, use a pan on low heat. This helps keep the wrappers crispy. Avoid using a microwave, as it can make them soggy. You can freeze spring rolls before or after cooking. If you freeze them before cooking, lay them flat on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. This prevents sticking. To freeze after cooking, let them cool first. Then, follow the same steps. When it's time to eat, thaw the spring rolls in the fridge overnight. For reheating, place them in a hot oven or skillet. This ensures they stay crispy and tasty.

Start by preparing the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

    Wash and prepare all your vegetables by julienning the cucumber, bell peppers, and carrot, slicing the cabbage, and cutting the avocado.

        In the center of the softened rice paper, layer a small amount of vermicelli noodles, followed by a colorful mix of the julienned vegetables, avocado slices, a few mint leaves, and cilantro leaves.

          Drizzle a small bit of sesame oil over the fillings, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

            To roll, fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then starting from the bottom, carefully roll it up tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Repeat this process for the remaining rice paper wrappers and fillings.
