Ingredients
Scale
Spring Rolls
- 8 spring roll skins
- ½ cup cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 large basil leaf per roll (8 leaves)
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup sliced cucumber
- ½ avocado, sliced
- 4 ounces rice noodles, cooked
Dipping Sauce and Seasoning
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame seed oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, sugar, and sweet chili sauce until well combined.
- Season the Rice Noodles: Toss the cooked rice noodles with 2 tablespoons of the prepared dipping sauce to infuse flavor, then set aside to absorb the seasoning.
- Soften the Spring Roll Skins: Fill a shallow plate with warm water. Dip one spring roll skin into the water just until it softens, then remove and lay flat on a clean surface.
- Assemble the Roll: Place one basil leaf in the center of the softened skin. Add a portion of seasoned rice noodles, followed by shredded carrots, cucumber slices, shredded chicken, and 1-2 slices of avocado on top.
- Roll the Spring Roll: Fold in the sides of the spring roll skin over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up to enclose all ingredients securely.
- Repeat: Repeat the softening and rolling process for the remaining spring roll skins and fillings.
- Serve: Serve the freshly made spring rolls immediately with the reserved dipping sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use warm water to soften the spring roll skins for easier rolling without tearing.
- Rice noodles can be cooked according to package instructions and cooled before use.
- These spring rolls are best served fresh as the skins can become soggy if stored for too long.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce if you prefer more or less sweetness or heat in the dipping sauce.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure the soy sauce used is gluten-free.
