Ingredients:
- 8-10 large lettuce leaves (butter, romaine, or leafy green lettuce)
- 1 cup cooked vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
For the Dipping Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or other hot sauce (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by cooking the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set them aside.
- Prepare all your vegetables by shredding, slicing, or chopping them as needed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dipping sauce until they are well combined.
- Now, it’s time to assemble your lettuce wraps. Lay a lettuce leaf flat on a plate or work surface. Place a small portion of the cooked noodles, carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, cucumber, mint, cilantro, and peanuts in the center of the lettuce leaf.
- Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf inward, then roll it up tightly to form a compact roll.
- Repeat this process with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling ingredients.
- Serve your lettuce wrap summer rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
- Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy these fresh, light, and flavorful lettuce wraps as a healthy appetizer or main dish!
