Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 2 medium, julienned Carrot
• 1 medium, julienned Cucumber
• 1 medium, julienned Red bell pepper
• 1 cup, thinly sliced Purple cabbage
• 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 6 leaves, halved Romaine lettuce
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 clove, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon, freshly grated Fresh ginger

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the vegetables by washing them thoroughly and cutting them into thin strips (julienne-style). Slice the purple cabbage thinly and halve the romaine lettuce leaves.

Step 2

Set up a workstation with all the vegetables, herbs (mint and cilantro), and the rice paper wrappers.

Step 3

Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable but not overly soft.

Step 4

Place the softened wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel or plastic cutting board to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Layer a halved romaine lettuce leaf on the lower third of the rice paper wrapper. Then, add a small amount of julienned carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, purple cabbage, along with a few mint and cilantro leaves.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling completely. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.

Step 7

To make the dipping sauce, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir until well mixed.

Step 8

Serve the spring rolls fresh with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
