Make

  1. Fill a frying pan with about 1 1/2” / 3.75 cm of water. Heat water over medium-low heat - it shouldn't be so hot that you can’t touch it.
  2. Use fingers to loosen noodles if they are stuck together and break them into smaller pieces.
  3. Set out ingredients for filling summer rolls - noodles, avocado slices, mango slices, carrots, cucumbers, and mint leaves.
  4. Dip rice paper into water and rotate through water (check out this video to see how we keep the rice paper from sticking). Place onto a plate. Do 4 at a time and then assemble 4 rolls.
  5. To assemble rolls, layer all of the filling ingredients at the end of the rice paper that is close to you. Don’t overfill or the paper will break. Fold rice paper over the filling from the bottom up. Then fold sides over. Roll as tightly as possible. (Again, check out this video for tips)
  6. Serve summer rolls with peanut sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
