Materials

* spring rolls:

1/2 medium-sized head of cabbage thinly sliced
1 red pepper thinly sliced
1 cucumber halved and thinly sliced
3 large carrots peeled into thin strips
6 radishes sliced into thin rounds and cut into small matchsticks

* peanut sauce:

1/4 cup peanut butter natural unsweetened
2 Tbsp soy sauce ensure certified gf for gluten free eaters
4 Tbsp lime juice
3 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup water
1-3 tsp chili pepper flakes optional—more or less depending on how spicy you like your food

Instructions

Rolls:

Fill a shallow dish or skillet with hot water and immerse a single sheet of rice paper to soften for about 10-15 seconds. The rice paper should be pliable but not mushy.
Transfer to a flat, glass plate and gently smooth rice paper into a circle—this can be challenging at first so don’t get discouraged, stick with it.
On the lower third of the circle, place a small handful of cabbage, couple slices of pepper, cucumber, strips of carrot, spoonful of chopped radishes, sliced avocado, and pinch of cilantro—if desired.
Gently fold rice paper over once, tuck edges in, and continue rolling until sealed. Set aside on clean tray.
Continue to soak rice paper, fill and wrap until you have 12 stuffed rolls.
Leftovers will keep refrigerated in airtight container for 2 days though they are best served fresh.

Sauce:

In a high speed blender or food processor, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, salt, water and chili pepper flakes if desired.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Transfer to small bowl and serve with spring rolls.
Leftovers will keep refrigerated in airtight container for up to 5 days.
