Ingredients

Scale
  • Rice paper wrappers (round, thin)
  • 2 ripe avocados, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • ½ cucumber, julienned
  • Handful fresh mint leaves
  • 45 large butter lettuce leaves or baby spinach
  • 50 grams (about 1.75 oz) thin rice vermicelli noodles (optional)
  • Creamy Coconut Bliss Sauce:
  • ½ cup (120 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup full-fat coconut milk, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, and 1 small minced garlic clove. Season with salt and black pepper. Add chili flakes if desired. Set aside.
  2. Cook the vermicelli noodles (optional): Boil water, add 50 grams thin rice vermicelli noodles, cook 3-4 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, toss with 1 teaspoon oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  3. Prep the veggies and avocado: Peel and thinly slice 2 ripe avocados. Julienne 1 medium carrot and ½ cucumber. Wash and pat dry fresh mint leaves and butter lettuce or baby spinach.
  4. Soften the rice paper wrappers: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one wrapper for 15-20 seconds until pliable but not too soft. Remove and place on a clean surface or damp towel.
  5. Assemble the rolls: On the softened wrapper, layer avocado slices, lettuce or spinach, julienned carrot and cucumber, mint leaves, and a small pinch of noodles if using. Fold bottom edge over filling, fold in sides, then roll tightly from bottom to top.
  6. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  7. Serve: Arrange rolls on a platter and serve with creamy coconut bliss sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Do not soak rice paper wrappers too long to avoid tearing. Keep finished rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying. The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving. For a protein boost, add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu. Substitute maple syrup with agave for vegan sweetener. Avoid microwave reheating to keep rice paper texture intact.
