  • 1 cup thin cucumber sticks
  • 1 cup red bell pepper strips
  • 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
  • 0.25 cup Thai basil leaves optional
  • 0.25 cup sliced green onions
  • 4 cup warm water for soaking wrappers
  • 0.5 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.75 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp chili-garlic paste to taste
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 4 tbsp warm water, for thinning sauce add more if needed

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Soak rice noodles in very hot water until tender, 4–6 minutes; drain and rinse cool.
  • Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, chili paste, and sesame oil.
  • Stir in warm water until the sauce is silky and dippable.
  • Arrange fillings on a platter; fill a wide bowl with warm water.
  • Dip one rice paper briefly to soften, then place on a damp board.
  • Layer lettuce, noodles, shrimp, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, herbs, and scallions across the center.
  • Fold sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose.
  • Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
  • Serve whole or halved with peanut sauce on the side.

Notes

Swap shrimp with firm tofu or shredded chicken if you prefer. Chill the rolled spring rolls under a lightly damp towel for up to 4 hours; add a splash of warm water to loosen the sauce if it thickens.
