# What You Need:

→ Spring Rolls

01 - 8 rice paper wrappers
02 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
03 - 1 cup carrots, julienned
04 - 1 cup cucumber, julienned
05 - 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
06 - 1 cup lettuce leaves, torn
07 - 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

09 - 2 green onions, sliced thin

→ Peanut Sauce

10 - 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
11 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
13 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
14 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
15 - 1/4 cup warm water
16 - 1 clove garlic, minced
17 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
18 - 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce, optional

# Directions:

01 - Cut all vegetables and herbs according to specifications. Arrange lettuce, chicken, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, mint, cilantro, and green onions on a platter in organized sections for streamlined assembly.
02 - Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds until softened and pliable. Transfer to a clean, damp kitchen towel.
03 - Place a small portion of lettuce, chicken, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, mint, cilantro, and green onion along the bottom third of the softened wrapper. Leave margins on the sides.
04 - Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in both sides and roll upward tightly, maintaining a burrito-like shape. Repeat process with remaining wrappers and filling components until all rolls are assembled.
05 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, warm water, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha if desired until smooth. Adjust water content incrementally to reach desired consistency.
06 - Arrange spring rolls on a serving plate either whole or sliced diagonally in half. Serve immediately with peanut sauce alongside for dipping to maintain optimal texture and crispness.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in under 40 minutes, making them perfect for when you want something that feels special without the fuss.
  • Rice paper wrappers are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, so these work for almost any dietary preference without feeling like a compromise.
  • The peanut sauce is addictively creamy and tangy—it's the kind of dipping sauce you'll find yourself making again just to have on hand.
02 -
  • Don't oversoak your rice paper—10 to 15 seconds is the sweet spot; any longer and it becomes fragile and tears when you touch it, any shorter and it won't roll without cracking.
  • Assemble right before serving because these wrappers harden as they sit, turning from silky to chewy if left uncovered for more than an hour.
03 -
  • Toast a handful of crushed peanuts and sprinkle them on top of the sauce right before serving for texture and extra nuttiness.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, have people roll their own—it's more fun, everyone gets exactly what they want, and it turns dinner into an event instead of a meal.
