🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prep your veggies! Finely slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic and ginger. Wash and chop your herbs (cilantro, mint, and basil work beautifully!) I like to set these all aside in little bowls – kind of like a spring roll ingredient buffet!
- Next, you'll make the yummy filling. In your large bowl, toss together the bell pepper strips, garlic, ginger, herbs, vermicelli noodles (cook those ahead of time according to package directions), and a generous drizzle of soy sauce. Give it a really good mix, but be gentle so the peppers don’t get too mushed up.
- Now, for the magic – assembling the spring rolls! Fill a shallow dish with warm (not hot!) water. Quickly dip each rice paper wrapper into the water until it softens (about 5 seconds, you don't want them to get soggy).
- Lay a softened wrapper flat on a clean surface (a damp kitchen towel works wonders here). Place a spoonful of the veggie filling about an inch from the bottom edge of the wrapper. Don't overload it though, or you’ll have trouble rolling it up!
- Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then bring the sides in and tightly roll it up like a burrito. Tuck in the edges well; trust me, this makes a pretty roll! Repeat this process until all the filling is used. They’ll look super colorful and gorgeous!
- Once you've rolled all the spring rolls, serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. It's a delicious, healthy, and fun meal or appetizer – perfect for any occasion! (Or just a Tuesday night…)
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling.
- Leftover cooked shrimp or tofu can be added to the filling for extra protein!
