14 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
15 - 0.25 cup warm water
16 - 1 clove garlic, minced
17 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
18 - 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce, optional

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Julienne carrots and cucumber into thin matchsticks. Slice bell pepper into thin strips. Tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and grate ginger. Arrange all prepared vegetables and herbs on a platter for efficient assembly.
02 - Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds until softened and pliable. Transfer to a clean, damp kitchen towel.
03 - Arrange a small amount of lettuce, shredded chicken, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, mint, cilantro, and green onion in a horizontal line along the bottom third of the softened wrapper.
04 - Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides. Roll tightly upward like a burrito, ensuring a secure seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, warm water, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha until smooth. Adjust water consistency as needed for desired thickness.
06 - Present spring rolls whole or sliced diagonally in half. Serve immediately with peanut sauce for dipping.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Fresh and nutritious ingredients packed with crunch.
  • Quick to assemble once the vegetables are prepped.
  • The homemade peanut sauce is creamy, tangy, and better than takeout.
  • Naturally dairy-free and easily adapted for gluten-free diets.
02 -
  • Avoid overfilling the wrappers, as this can cause them to tear during the rolling process.
  • Do not refrigerate the assembled rolls for long periods; the rice paper can harden and lose its pleasant texture.
  • Always use tamari instead of soy sauce if you are catering to a gluten-free diet.
