    Fresh Thai Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Sauce! It is so easy to eat the rainbow by stuffing either rice paper or collard green leaves with fresh veggies, tofu or other protein, and dip in a spicy sauce.

    What to Put in Vegetable Spring Rolls

    It's easy to make fresh vegetable spring rolls. Just chose a rainbow of vegetables, chop and roll. I chose here red bell pepper, avocado, cucumber, carrot, spinach and butter lettuce.

    But you can also add a protein, such as spicy tofu strips, tossed in soy sauce and baked for 10 minutes!

    How to Roll Spring Rolls

    To make spring rolls, you'll need to have rice paper which you can buy in a pack in most supermarkets or especially an Asian market. Or you can use the leaves of collard greens found in most produce sections.

    Once your veggies are chopped, dip each rice wrap (if you use those and not collard greens) into water for 30 seconds each before wrapping.

    Lay the soaking wet, drippy wrap on the parchment paper, and lay all the items you want in a a horizontal row, staying in the center.

    To wrap, pick up the bottom edge, and lay it on top of the row of veggie, pressing down, and rolling halfway.

    Stop, pick up the right edge and press it over your roll; pick up left edge and press it over your roll.

    Finish rolling upwards as you had begun, keep in the sides you tucked into the wrap.

    Cut in half, and serve propped in a bowl as snack or meal with a side dish of soy sauce or a spicy peanut sauce.

    Questions and Answers about Thai Spring Rolls

    Here are some questions and answers about vegetable spring rolls that you might have:

    1. Can You Eat Vegetable Spring Rolls Any Season?
    Of course, eating the rainbow is always in season. It just so happens spring rolls are eaten chilled or room temperature. Just choose to stuff it with veggies in season.
    2. How Do I Store Fresh Spring Rolls?
    It is best to eat rolls made that day, but you can store them for 2-3 days. Just wrap each in parchment paper or other storage wrap to keep them from sticking together, and store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
