Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Vegetable Filling
- Ingredients
- 5 ozs small carrots
- 4 ozs Green cabbage (1 piece)
- 7 ozs yellow Bell pepper
- 8 sprigs cilantro
- 8 sheets Rice paper (9" diameter)
- ¼ oz ginger (1 piece)
- 1 red chili pepper
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp Lime juice
- 1 Tbsp Rice vinegar

Clean, wash or peel carrots and white cabbage and cut into fine strips (julienne). Halve the bell pepper, remove seeds, wash and cut lengthwise into strips. Wash the cilantro, shake dry and pluck off the leaves.
Place a kitchen towel on the work surface. Soak rice paper sheets one at a time in a bowl of warm water for 45-60 seconds. Remove, drain and lay side by side on the kitchen towel.
Center rice sheets with some prepared vegetables and cilantro, leaving a margin of at least 1" on all sides. Roll up rice sheets tightly and cut in half diagonally.
Peel and finely chop the ginger. Halve chili pepper lengthwise, remove seeds, wash and chop finely. Stir ginger, chili, oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce and agave syrup to a sauce and serve with the rolls.
