How to Make Giant Veggies Summer Roll

Step 1: Julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin matchsticks using a julienne peeler or sharp knife. Thinly slice the avocado, separate lettuce leaves, and rinse and pat dry the fresh mint leaves to keep them crisp.
Step 2: Fill a large shallow dish or plate with cold water. Dip each rice paper sheet into the water for about 7 seconds until softened, then layer the three sheets slightly overlapping on a clean surface for added support.
Step 3: Place 1–2 lettuce leaves in the center of the softened rice paper. Add the julienned carrots, cucumbers, avocado slices, fresh mint leaves, and top with the plant-based prawns or your chosen plant protein.
Step 4: Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the fillings, fold in the sides, then roll it tightly up like a burrito. Use an additional rice paper sheet to double wrap if needed for extra support and to secure the fillings.
Step 5: In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chili oil (optional), minced garlic, lime juice, and grated ginger. Whisk in warm water gradually until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more lime juice for tang or sugar for sweetness.
Step 6: Using a sharp knife, cut the roll in half for easier eating. Serve immediately with the creamy peanut dipping sauce and enjoy the fresh, crunchy flavors.
