Ingredients
- 8 rice paper sheets
- 1 ripe mango, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup cooked rice vermicelli noodles (optional)
- 1/2 cup peanuts, crushed for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the mango and cucumber, and gather the mint and basil leaves.
- Soak the Rice Papers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for about 10-15 seconds, until soft. Remove and lay it flat on a clean surface.
- Fill the Rolls: In the center of the rice paper, layer some mango slices, cucumber, mint, basil, and rice noodles if using. Be careful not to overfill.
- Roll Them Up: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, like a burrito. Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets and filling.
- Make the Spicy Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and chili paste. Adjust the consistency with water if necessary.
- Serve: Place the rice paper rolls on a platter and serve with the spicy peanut sauce on the side. Garnish with crushed peanuts.
