Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 1 large, julienned Carrot
• 1 large, julienned Cucumber
• 1 medium, julienned Red bell pepper
• 6 leaves, halved Green leaf lettuce
• 2 cups Cooked rice vermicelli noodles
• 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup, whole Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce as dipping sauce base)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the vegetables: Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Wash and halve the green leaf lettuce leaves. Set aside.

Step 2

Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, rinse them under cold water, drain thoroughly, and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the dipping sauce by combining tamari, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and chopped green onions in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Fill a wide, shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 10-15 seconds until it softens, but be careful not to over-soak as it might tear.

Step 5

Lay the softened rice paper wrapper flat on a clean, damp tea towel or cutting board.

Step 6

Layer a small portion of the filling ingredients in the center of the rice paper: start with lettuce, then add a small handful of rice noodles, followed by julienned vegetables, and finally sprinkle with fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, and basil).

Step 7

Fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a compact spring roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.

Step 8

Serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce, or cover the spring rolls with a damp paper towel and refrigerate until ready to serve.
