Ingredients

• 8 pieces Rice paper wrappers (8.5-inch diameter)
• 100 grams Vermicelli rice noodles
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium English cucumber, julienned
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 large Avocado, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 8 leaves Lettuce leaves, torn into pieces
• 0.25 cup Unsalted crushed peanuts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Almond butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Chili garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to cool them down. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare all the fresh vegetables by julienning the carrot and cucumber, thinly slicing the bell pepper and avocado, and washing and drying the mint and cilantro leaves.

Step 3

Fill a large shallow dish or pie pan with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 15-20 seconds, until it becomes soft and pliable.

Step 4

Lay the softened rice paper wrapper on a clean and damp kitchen towel or a cutting board.

Step 5

Place a few pieces of lettuce, a small amount of the cooked noodles, and a few slices of each vegetable at the bottom third of the rice paper, leaving some space on each side of the wrapper.

Step 6

Add a few mint and cilantro leaves on top of the vegetables, and sprinkle a little crushed peanuts if using.

Step 7

To roll, fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up, similar to rolling a burrito.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and fillings until all ingredients are used.

Step 9

For the dipping sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, lime juice, maple syrup, chili garlic paste, and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.

Step 10

Serve the summer rolls immediately with the almond butter dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
