Minted Vegetable Rice Paper Rolls

Name: Minted Vegetable Rice Paper Rolls
Prep time: 25 min

Rice-paper rolls reward having the filling ready before the first wrapper gets wet. Set out the cooked noodles, fine vegetable sticks, mint and peanut dip, then assemble a lunch with cool crunch rather than another hot noodle bowl.

Work with one wrapper at a time and follow its packet for soaking. It continues to soften after leaving the water, so do not wait until it is fragile to lift it out. A modest, narrow bundle of filling is easier to enclose than a generously piled one; keep finished rolls apart so their damp surfaces do not stick together.

Preparation notes

Wrapper-soaking water is additional preparation water and is discarded. Use a clean shallow dish and follow the wrapper packet; keep it separate from measured sauce liquids.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook noodles according to their packet, drain and rinse. Cut carrot and cucumber into fine sticks. Whisk peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce and measured warm water for the dip.
Soften one rice paper wrapper in a wide dish of warm water following its package directions. Lay on a clean damp board and place a small bundle of noodles, vegetables and mint near the lower edge.
Fold the sides in and roll firmly without stretching the wrapper. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping the rolls apart, and serve immediately with dip.

Storage

Keep perishable ingredients refrigerated according to their labels. Serve promptly. Chill cooked leftovers promptly in shallow covered portions and consult the official storage chart for the food type.

For perishable foods and leftovers, U.S. FDA guidance calls for prompt refrigeration, no more than two hours at room temperature (one hour above 32°C/90°F), and a refrigerator at or below 4°C/40°F. Follow the product label and local guidance. Smell and appearance alone cannot establish safety.

Ingredient substitution

Use edible rice-paper wrappers intended for soft rolls. Nori and wheat spring-roll pastry do not soften, stretch or seal by the same dipping method.
