Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Cook the chicken and shred or slice it into thin strips.
- Wash and cut all the vegetables into thin, even slices.
Step 2: Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers
- Fill a large shallow dish with warm water.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 10-15 seconds, or until softened but not too sticky.
- Place the softened wrapper on a clean, damp surface like a cutting board.
Step 3: Assemble the Spring Rolls
- Arrange a small amount of chicken, carrots, cucumber, lettuce, cilantro, and mint in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, like a burrito.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Step 4: Make the Dipping Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Add a splash of water if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 5: Serve
- Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and serve with the dipping sauce.
- Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The flavor and texture of these rolls depend on fresh vegetables and herbs.
- Don’t Overfill: Use a moderate amount of filling to make rolling easier and prevent tears in the rice paper.
- Keep the Wrappers Moist: Work quickly with the rice paper to prevent it from drying out.
- Make Ahead: These rolls can be made a few hours in advance. Cover them with a damp towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
Why These Spring Rolls Stand Out
Fresh Chicken and Vegetable Spring Rolls are not only visually stunning but also incredibly versatile. They’re a guilt-free indulgence that can be adapted to suit any palate. Whether you’re hosting a party, looking for a light lunch, or simply craving something fresh and satisfying, these rolls are a must-try.
