Most folks who've gone out for Thai or Vietnamese food have had these delicious fresh spring rolls and loved them, and thankfully they're not at all hard to make at home. They're wonderful because they're amazingly versatile, beautiful and nutritious. You can fill them with virtually any vegetable, so long as they're thinly sliced. The spring roll wrappers can be found in the Asian aisle of most grocery stores, get the 8 or 9" ones. The one thing you do not want to leave out of these guys are the fresh herbs. They MAKE the flavor of these rolls.

Ingredients You Need for Red Cabbage and Jicama Spring Rolls [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  • 1 package of "spring roll skin wrappers"
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red (or green) cabbage
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber strips
  • 1 cup thinly sliced jicama (or carrots, radish, or broccoli stems)
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves

    • Peanut Dipping Sauce:

    • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
    • 3/4 cup warm water
    • 1 tablespoon rice or white vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon sugar or agave syrup
    • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or tamari
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon fresh shallot or onion
    • 1/2 teaspoon (or more) fresh Thai chili (optional)

How to Prepare Red Cabbage and Jicama Spring Rolls [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Thinly slice all veggies into strips and place in separate clusters on large plate. Remove herbs from stems and add whole leaves to plate as well.
  2. Boil water and fill very wide bowl or pie plate about half way full, let sit for a few minutes to cool ever so slightly. One at a time, soften spring roll sheets by dipping them into the hot water, using your fingers to move them around. Depending on hotness of water, it will take about 2-10 seconds for them to soften. They should be pliable but not mushy and falling apart, think al dente pasta, as they will continue to soften even out of the water. Layer two softened spring roll sheets on top of one another on cutting board (wood works well here) and fill bottom third with a a bit of each veggie and herbs, do not overstuff! Less is more here. Roll up like you would a mini burrito, tucking in sides and rolling up tightly. It will conveniently stick to itself, making this very easy. Cut in half and place on serving plate.
  3. In a blender combine all ingredients for peanut sauce and process 10-20 seconds until creamy. Transfer to small bowl and top with chopped scallions or additional chopped chili pepper, if desired.
