Thai Veggie Spring Rolls

Spring Rolls
  • Cooked brown rice or rice noodles
  • cooked sweet potato cut in little strips
  • greens
  • basil or cilantro leaves
  • avocado slices
  • carrots cut in thin strips
  • cucumber cut in thin strips
  • peppers cut in strips
  • rice paper (in Asian section or store)
  • Toby’s Peanut sauce for dipping (recipe below)

We use a plate with water in it. You lay 1 rice paper in the water plate until it starts becoming soft. Pull the rice paper out of the water and put it on another plate and put a little bit of all of the filling ingredients in a pile in the middle of the rice paper. Fold the 2 side flaps over to the middle until they are touching. They will stick together. Then fold starting at the long end and roll it tightly in a roll to the other side.

This is what a package of rice paper looks like.
