Rice Paper Spring Rolls with Asian Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- Rice Paper Rolls
- 10 small (or 5 large) rice paper sheets
- 1 small head Romaine / Cos Lettuce thinly sliced
- 1 small Lebanese Cucumber sliced into small sticks or strips
- 1 medium Carrot peeled and grated or sliced into strips
- 1 small packet Tempeh or Tofu Sliced thinly and grilled or marinated and cooked

Instructions
- Run a tea towel under water and wring it out. Fold in half and place on a bench or chopping board. Use this to roll your rice paper rolls on without sticking.
- Get a large bowl, plate or quiche dish and fill with some like warm water. This needs to be large enough to dip the rice paper into.
- Take a rice paper sheet and drag it through the lukewarm water for a couple of seconds. It will still feel firm but it will continue to soften as you fill it. (See video demo at top of this page for full visual instructions).
- Place the rice paper flat on the damp tea towel and place some lettuce into the top third of the rice paper. Add cucumber sticks, carrot, tempeh and cilantro. Do not overfill. Fold top edge down, fold side edge in and roll up.
- Set aside on a plate or non-stick parchment paper until ready to eat. You can also store these in the fridge to eat later or the next day (will keep well for about 3 days).
- For the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir together until well combined.
- Dip your spring rolls in the sauce and enjoy!
