Ingredients

  • 8 Rice Paper Wraps  (easy to find in any Asian market!)
  • 1  Carrot  julienned (basically thin slices 😉)
  • 1  Cucumber julienned (the crunch factor 🥒)
  • A handful of Lettuce Leaves, Mint, and Cilantro  (fresh herbs = flavor bomb 🌿)
  • Shrimp or Tofu (your choice, both work like a charm)
  • ¼ cup  Peanut Butter
  •  tbsp Soy Sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
  • tbsp Lime Juice 🍋
  • 1 tsp Sriracha (add more if you like it spicy 🔥)
  • 2 tbsp  Water (to make it the perfect dipping consistency)
  • 1 tbsp Tamarind Paste
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Water

Instructions

  • 1. Soak the rice paper wraps:
    First up, fill a shallow bowl with warm water and dip the rice paper wraps for about 10-15 seconds until they’re soft and ready to roll. Be gentle—these wraps are delicate! 💧

  • 2. Layer your ingredients:
    Lay your softened wrap on a clean surface. Add your julienned carrots, cucumber, lettuce, mint, and cilantro. Feeling fancy yet? Now, pop some shrimp or tofu in the middle for that protein boost. 🍤🌱

  • 3. Time to roll:
    Fold the sides of the wrap in first, then roll it up like a burrito. Don’t be afraid—once you get the hang of it, you’ll be a rolling master! 💪

  • 4. Make the sauces:
    While your rolls chill out, let’s whip up the sauces. Mix all the ingredients for the peanut sauce together until smooth and creamy.
    For the tamarind sauce, just mix the ingredients, and voila! You’ve got yourself two flavor-packed dipping sauces. 🥜🌶️
