Introduction

This recipe is really easy; it's really more of a process than a recipe. Rice paper wrappers, which are available in the ethnic sections of most larger supermarkets these days, are a great way to wrap your veggies and protein for a quick snack or light lunch.

Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

    3 sheets rice paper

    Spicy Sauce
    1 T reduced-fat mayonnaise
    1 T sriracha

    Filling
    1 c carrots, shredded
    1 c broccoli slaw or chopped broccoli
    2 bell peppers, sliced
    1 c mushrooms, sliced

    Protein: select one, (nutritional info is based on chicken)
    6 oz chicken breast, shredded
    6 oz turkey, sliced
    6 oz tofu, crumbled

Tips

Use whatever vegetables and protein you have on hand; feel free to improvise! The only tricky part is learning how to handle the rice paper; after that, it's a cinch!


Directions

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

Fill a shallow dish with hot tap water. Working one at a time, immerse the rice paper in the hot water. Remove from the water and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel. Spread sauce on the rice paper, then fill with 1/3 of the vegetables and meat or tofu.

Fold in sides of the paper to form a seal, then roll from the bottom of the circle away from you to form an egg roll shape. Repeat until all three rice papers have been filled. Serve immediately.

Makes 3 rolls.

    I'm vietnamese and we always eat spring rolls. We put shrimp or pork, lettuce, cucumbers, fresh mint, basil, and rice vermicelli noodles in ours. - 2/8/10

    I don't think these need any kind of mayonnaise at all. Our Vietnamese restaurant serves these with a rice vinegar-based dipping sauce and they are amazing. And yes, shrimp, lettuce, cucumber, vermicelli, fresh basil and mint, plus pickled daikon and carrot are all you need. Delicious. - 6/20/10

    Try using leftover chopped pork tenderloin, leaf of green leaf lettuce with rib cut out, bean sprouts, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, shredded carrots, basil leaves, whole wheat spaghetti, chopped peanuts. Sauce: hoisin sauce, lemon juice,srircha chili sauce, minced garlic, little honey, chop peanuts - 6/8/10

    Delicious! I mixed some fish sauce in with the slaw mix before making the rolls and didn't need any of the mayonnaise sauces. Try finding "Three Ladies" brand of rice paper -- it's the best I've found. There's a good article on buying various rice papers at the Viet World Kitchen website. - 7/1/10

    So the recipe for Thai Sauce is mayo + Thai Sauce?! That doesn't make any sense. That's like giving a recipe for pesto that includes prepared pesto.

    I also HATE the inclusion of dairy in an asian recipe. That's wrong and unnecessary. Use tofu as a protein option. String cheese would be disgusting

    There is a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Orlando. They make them as an appetizer with grilled pork. When we go, I order two servings and eat as a meal. When you make these, don't soak the papers too long or too many at a time. I had to eat in bowl as a salad with gummy slime. LOL - 6/22/10

    Easy, healthy and very tasty. I love the idea of making different rice rolls, some with turkey, some with chicken and some with cheese. gr8 idea to serve visitors while waiting for the main meal. - 2/8/10

    These were amazing, so simple but sooo yummy! Just a little bit of sauce goes a long way. I made the basil sauce but used sundried tomato pesto instead of regular pesto and it was even better! (I've tried it both ways) - 7/8/10

    Just made these. You have to practice to get them rolled right. I used the small papers - needed to use the larger ones I think - couldn't get much rolled into them. I used the broccoli slaw and shrimp, green onions and cilantro. I used the peanut dipping sauce, store made - it was great. - 8/27/10

    These are more salad rolls than spring rolls. The greatest thing is that they are totally transportable, especially if you spritz them lightly with a bit of oil so they don't stick together - 9/29/11

    The best mushroom for spring rolls is the "nam meo" (black fungus) available in most Asian markets pre-sliced. Saigon style are fried (use soy or olive oil). We also make a vegan style rolls which are a favorite of certain of our friends. - 10/30/11

    Rice vinegar with a little mirin is a nice fresh dipping sauce, though I also make my own "peanut sauce" using almond butter, hot water, and siracha. I've never put cheese in mine, tofu, shrimp, chicken, or just veggies! My fav fillings are carrot, lettuce, cucumber, bean sprouts, and rice noodles. - 7/30/11

    I've tried replicating what we get as salad rolls in a Vietnamese restaurant. I use chicken, bean sprouts, and vermicelli and whatever else comes to mind. These make a great lunch for kids at school - just fill with what they like. Yummy! - 6/27/12

    I used mock duck and it is great. It takes a lot more time than 5 minutes to make these. 5 minutes only works if you don't count prep time. - 4/24/12

    You're missing the best part, the fresh herbs. There is nothing more amazing than biting into a really good spring roll and having your tastebuds hit by Basil, Mint and celintro. My vietnamese hubby gets normal with noodles, but i replace noodles with Veg. and don't forget Tofu as a lovly protien - 6/6/12

    Something I like better is Summer Rolls, and instead of meat inside, put tofu or shrimp with lots of lettuce and veggies, then dip in plum sause with a dap of chili sause. No sause inside...you dip in the sause. - 5/31/12

    Minus the vermicelli noodles these taste exactly like the spring rolls you grab at Vietnamese pho restaurants! Loved it and so easy to make! I made it with shrimp as my protein. I would recommend using a hoisin sauce as the dio instead of the mayo. That is the sauce usually served with these rolls. - 6/13/17

    I've made spring rolls at home, but never with these ingredients. This is more like they tried to put a sandwich in a lower calorie wrapper I think. While it isn't a bad idea, it just isn't a spring roll anymore! Springrolls to me are lettuce, noodles, mint, shrimp/crab/tofu, cucumber, carrot. - 3/31/14

    These were great, but I found that using all the veggies called for in the recipe is way too much for the roll (you can't get it rolled up). Next time I'll halve the recipe so that I don't have monster rolls. A cup of veggies is a lot to cram in these. - 3/24/14
