Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Summer Rolls:
    1) Prepare all your vegetables, mango, and avocado by cutting them into thin, uniform slices. Have fresh herbs and cooked vermicelli noodles ready.
    2) Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 15-20 seconds, or until it softens. Carefully remove and lay it flat on a clean, damp surface.
    3) In the lower third of the rice paper wrapper, layer a small amount of red cabbage, carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, avocado, mango, and a few leaves of mint, cilantro, and basil. If using, add a small portion of vermicelli noodles.
    4) Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, similar to a burrito. Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.
  • Prepare the Spicy Peanut Sauce:
    1) n a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, maple syrup, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and lime juice.
    2) Gradually add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick yet pourable. Set aside.
  • Serve:
    1) Arrange the rainbow summer rolls on a platter and serve with the spicy peanut dressing on the side for dipping.
    2) For a beautiful presentation, slice each roll in half to reveal the colorful layers inside.
