Ingredients
  

Ultimate Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • cup Logan Petit Lot Peanut Butter Sea Salt
  • 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 garlic clove pressed
  • ½ tsp sambal oelek or more to taste optional

Fresh Spring Rolls

  • 2 carrots julienned
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 150 g rice vermicelli
  • 8-10 round rice paper sheets
  • fresh mint leaves
  • fresh basil leaves
  • cilantro
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large mango peeled and sliced into thin strips
  • 2 green onions sliced into thin strips
  • ¼ cup crushed peanuts or toasted sesame seeds
  • radish or pea shoots optional
  • grilled tofu sticks or other protein of choice optional

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the peanut sauce ingredients. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Place the julienned carrots in a small bowl. Add the salt, rice vinegar and mix well with a fork. Set aside to pickle.
  • In a bowl, cover the vermicelli with boiling water and let soak for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Set aside.
  • In a shallow bowl of hot water, soak a rice paper to soften for about 15 to 20 seconds. Remove from the water, and place on a clean work surface.
  • Layer mint leaves, basil leaves and a handful of cilantro in the center of the wrap. Then, add a few slices of red pepper, mango, pickled carrots, green onions and tofu (if using). Add a handful of rice vermicelli on top, and garnish with some chopped peanuts and shoots (if using). Make sure to leave about an inch on each side of the rice paper.
  • Gently fold the left and right side in, then fold the bottom towards the center, and roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining rolls until all the ingredients are used up.
  • Cover the rolls with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out, until they are ready to serve.
  • Cut the rolls in half if desired and serve with the peanut sauce.
