For the Spring Rolls

Instructions
 

For the Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • Place all ingredients in a small food processor and mix until blended and smooth or whisk together in a small bowl. Add chopped peanuts and cilantro. Set aside until ready to use.

For the Spring Rolls

  • Clean green onions and herbs. Pat dry and set aside. Line up ingredients in bowls or on a large sheet pan or platter.
  • Fill a baking pan with ½ inch of water.
  • Place a large sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on a cutting board or counter.
  • Take a sheet of Spring Roll wrapper, one at a time and lay it in the water for 30-60 seconds. Don't let the wrapper get too soft. It will continue to soften even after you remove it from the water.
  • Remove the wrapper and lay it on the prepared surface.
  • Lay one or two pieces of lettuce, ⅓ of the way up the wrapper on the side closest to you.
  • Line up other ingredients of your choice, horizontally across the lettuce. Do not over fill.
  • Gently fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling ingredients, tucking the end in under the filling.
  • Gently fold the sides in over the covered filling.
  • Finish rolling, tightly sealing the end of the Spring Roll.
  • Serve with Peanut Dipping Sauce, Sweet Chili Sauce or Sweet Sour Sauce
