Hearty Veggie Rolls with Peanut Sauce: A Flavorful and Nutritious Delight

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   Wash and slice all the vegetables into thin, uniform strips. This makes them easier to roll and ensures a balanced bite.
2. Soak the Rice Paper:
   Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5–10 seconds until it softens. Place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
   Layer a small handful of shredded carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, cabbage, avocado, and herbs in the center of the rice paper. Add a small portion of rice noodles if using. Be careful not to overfill.
4. Roll It Up:
   Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, similar to a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
5. Make the Peanut Sauce:
   In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Add water as needed to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Adjust the seasoning to taste and add sriracha or chili flakes if you like it spicy.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   Arrange the veggie rolls on a platter and serve with the peanut sauce on the side. For extra flair, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped peanuts.

Tips for Perfect Veggie Rolls

• Keep Ingredients Dry: Pat the vegetables dry before assembling to prevent the rice paper from tearing.
• Work Quickly: Rice paper wrappers soften fast, so have all your ingredients ready before you start.
• Customize Your Fillings: Add tofu, shrimp, or cooked chicken for extra protein. Swap in your favorite veggies or herbs for variety.
• Store Properly: If making ahead, store the rolls in an airtight container with a damp paper towel to keep them fresh.
