Instructions

Prep

  • Chop and prep the filling ingredients.
  • Mix the green onion, cilantro, and mint in a small bowl. Place the other filling ingredients in seperate bowls.

Boil Pasta

  • Add water to a pot and bring to a boil.
  • Cook the pasta following instructions on the package.
  • Turn off the heat.
  • Drain the water, and rinse the pasta under cool water, then return the noodles back to the empty pot.
  • Toss the noodles with the sesame oil and Himalayan sea salt and set aside for next steps.

Hydrate the Wraps

  • Fill a 9" round cake pan with an ich of water.
  • Fold the lint free towel in half and set next to the cake pan.
  • Take a single rice paper and gently place it in the water in the cake pan for 20 seconds. Don't go longer as it will get too flimsy.
  • Lay the wrap gently on the flat towel.

Build Spring Rolls

  • When building each wrap, leave 1" free around the edges to help with folding.
  • Build the wrap in the lower part of the rice paper. Take a few small pieces of the butter lettuce, a small pinch of rice noodles, pinch of cabbage, a few strips of cucumber, and carrot, and jalapeño. Add a spoonful of the green onion, cilantro, and mint.

Fold

  • Take the lower edge of the rice paper and fold over the ingredients.
  • Roll upwards just until the ingredients are inside.
  • Fold the sides over and roll up until completely closed.

Serving and Sauce

  • The spring rolls go great with our "Special Sauce" recipe.
  • They can be served whole or sliced diagonally with a sharp knife. Enjoy!!
