Ingredients

• 8 sheets Rice paper wraps
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup Cooked rice noodles
• 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the vegetables and herbs. Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Slice the avocado, and rinse the bean sprouts and fresh herbs.

Step 2

Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions and let them cool completely.

Step 3

To make the spicy peanut sauce, combine the natural peanut butter, unsweetened coconut milk, lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 4

To assemble the rice wraps, fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water and let it soften for about 15-20 seconds, until it becomes pliable.

Step 5

Gently lay the softened rice paper on a clean, damp tea towel or cutting board.

Step 6

Place a small portion of noodles, a few slices of each vegetable, avocado, a handful of bean sprouts, and a mix of mint, cilantro, and basil leaves at one end of the rice paper wrap.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling, similar to rolling a burrito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Serve the rice wraps immediately with the spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
