There is something so satisfying about wrapping up fresh, crunchy vegetables and soft noodles in delicate rice paper. I love making these when I want a meal that feels light but leaves me feeling full and happy. They are a staple in my kitchen because they look beautiful on a platter and taste even better.

My biggest tip is to keep a bowl of warm water nearby when you work with the rice paper. It only needs a few seconds to soften up, and you do not want it getting too sticky. If it tears, just fold that piece inward and keep going.

🧺 Ingredients

8 rice paper wrappers
2 ounces vermicelli rice noodles, cooked
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
1/4 cup crushed peanuts
Sweet chili sauce for dipping

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Prepare the rice noodles according to the package directions, then rinse them under cold water and set them aside to drain.
2
Fill a wide, shallow bowl with warm water.
3
Dip one sheet of rice paper into the warm water for about 5 to 10 seconds until it feels soft and pliable.
4
Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean cutting board or a damp kitchen towel.
5
Place a small handful of noodles, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, cilantro, and mint in the center of the wrapper.
6
Fold the sides of the rice paper inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom until it is secure.
7
Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
8
Serve your rolls immediately with a side of sweet chili sauce and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts.

💡 Tips

These rolls are best eaten fresh, but you can keep them in the fridge for a few hours if you cover them with a damp paper towel. If you want to add protein, some cooked shrimp or tofu strips work wonderfully inside the rolls.
