Summer Rolls are fresh, vibrant rice paper rolls filled with crisp vegetables, herbs, rice noodles, and shrimp or tofu. Served cold with a flavorful dipping sauce, they’re a healthy and refreshing option for snacks, appetizers, or light meals.

Ingredients

  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 8–12 cooked shrimp, halved lengthwise, or tofu strips
  • 1 cup cooked rice vermicelli noodles
  • 1 cup leafy greens (lettuce or spinach)
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/2 cup julienned cucumber
  • 1/2 cup julienned bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup bean sprouts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red cabbage (optional)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • Fresh herbs: mint, cilantro, Thai basil
  • Dipping sauce: peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, or nuoc cham

Instructions

  1. Prepare all filling ingredients: cook vermicelli noodles according to package directions, wash and julienne vegetables, and prep shrimp or tofu.
  2. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for 5–10 seconds until just softened.
  3. Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean surface or damp towel.
  4. Layer a few lettuce leaves near the bottom third of the wrapper. Top with a small amount of noodles, herbs, and vegetables. Add shrimp or tofu if using.
  5. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom like a burrito.
  6. Repeat with remaining ingredients and wrappers.
  7. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

Soak rice paper just until pliable to avoid tearing.Don’t overfill the wrappers to ensure easy rolling.Use plastic wrap or damp paper towels to store rolls if prepping in advance.Peanut sauce, hoisin, or nuoc cham make excellent dipping sauces.Add jalapeños or sriracha for a spicy version.
