Description
This Giant Veggies Summer Roll recipe is a vibrant, fresh, and healthy dish featuring crisp julienned vegetables, creamy avocado, and plant-based prawns wrapped in softened rice paper.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 rice paper sheets
- 1–2 leaves of lettuce (iceberg or butter lettuce)
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- ½ avocado, thinly sliced
- 2 imitation prawns or plant-based shrimp alternative
- A small handful of fresh mint leaves
- 3 tbsp peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili crisp or chili oil (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp grated ginger (or a pinch of ground ginger)
- 3 tbsp warm water (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- This dish is perfect for warm weather or when you crave a refreshing bite.
