Ingredients
 

SUMMER ROLLS

  • 1 carrot, finely sliced lengthwise (approx. 7cm)
  • ½ cucumber, finely sliced lenghtwise (same)
  • ½ bell pepper, finely sliced (same)
  • 4 radishes, finely sliced (round)
  • 10 mini asparagus to steam or ½ ripe avocado (cut the avocado into strips)
  • 3-4 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 4 sweet Thai basil leaves, (optional or use normal basil)
  • 2 spring onions (cut into 7 cm tiny sticks)
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 4 spring rolls rice paper wrapper
  • 1 fresh chili, chopped , (optional)

DIPPING SAUCE

  • ½ cup organic peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce , (or Tamari sauce for gluten free option)
  • 1 green lime, freshly squeezed
  • 2-4 tbsp water , or more
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup, (optional)

Instructions
 

SUMMER ROLLS

  • Wash, peel and slice all the vegetables, except the asparagus. Set aside in separate bowls (1 bowl for each vegetable).
  • Steam the asparagus or cut the avocado into 7 cm long strips. If you steam the asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes, rinse them under runny cold water for 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place one rice paper in room-temperature water (using a big pan) for 1-2 minutes until it is getting soft. Take the rice paper out and place it on a dry and clean large cutting board.
  • Place the vegetables crosswise, one after the other in the middle of the rice paper. Try to staple them a little bit and hold them with one hand.
  • With the other hand fold the rice paper sides : first from left up over the vegetables and then the same with the other side. Then fold from down and try to roll over to the top of the rice paper. The rice paper will stick together and you will get a firm roll. See this easy way to do it here.
  • Repeat the process for each wrap.

DIPPING SAUCE

  • Whisk all the ingredients (except the water) together in a medium bowl or use a food processor. Add water until you reach desired consistency starting with 1 tablespoon at a time (3 is enough for me).
  • Taste. Add maple syrup only if desired. Whisk again.
