Step-by-step Guide:

For the Rolls

1 – Fill a large shallow dish or bowl with warm water.

2 – Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, dip it into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens.

Be careful not to over-soak, as the wrapper can become too delicate to handle.

3 – Lay the softened rice paper wrapper on a clean, damp surface (like a cutting board or kitchen towel).

4 – Place a small handful of spinach or mixed greens in the center, followed by a few strips of each vegetable.

5 – Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly, like a burrito.

6 – Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.

For the Sauce

7 – In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.

8 – Gradually add warm water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

9 – Sprinkle with mixed sesame seeds for added texture.

10 – Arrange the rice paper rolls on a platter and serve with the hoisin dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Pro Tips for Success:

• Perfect Dipping Sauce Consistency: Add warm water to the sauce slowly and stir often to get the perfect texture. You want it smooth but not too runny.

• Make the Rolls Tight: When rolling the rice paper, make sure to keep everything tight to avoid the filling spilling out. A firm roll ensures they stay intact while being dipped.

• Don’t Over-Soak the Rice Paper: Be sure to only dip the rice paper in water for 10-15 seconds. Over-soaking can make the paper too fragile, and it’ll be hard to roll.

• Keep the Rolls Moist: If you’re not serving the rolls immediately, cover them with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while you finish assembling the rest.

These Rainbow Veggie Rice Paper Rolls are not just beautiful to look at, but they’re also a perfect addition to any party spread.

They’re easy to make, packed with fresh flavors, and the dipping sauce adds the perfect touch!

Give them a try at your next BBQ, picnic, or holiday gathering, and watch them disappear off the plate.
