Peanut Summer Rolls
Description
The Peanut Summer Rolls feature soft cooked soba or rice noodles tossed in a savory peanut sauce, paired with brown sautéed mushrooms infused with tamari for umami depth. Creamy avocado slices add richness while fresh mint and basil leaves bring herbal brightness. Microgreens contribute a tender, leafy crunch. These ingredients are wrapped tightly in Vietnamese rice paper, which becomes pliable after dipping in warm water, encasing the fillings neatly. The rolls are served with extra peanut sauce and tamari for dipping, allowing customizable saltiness and flavor with each bite.
The combination of peanut sauce-coated noodles and delicate herbs creates a flavorful yet light experience, contrasting the tender, cooked mushrooms. Wrapping these fresh ingredients in rice paper makes a handheld, portable dish perfect for warm weather or casual dining. The rolls can be assembled quickly once noodles and mushrooms are ready.
To prepare, mushrooms are softened in olive oil and tossed with tamari, enriching their flavor and texture before assembly. The noodles absorb the peanut sauce flavors, enhancing each bite without becoming heavy. The avocado slices provide creamy relief alongside the fresh herbs.
Ingredients
For the mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup enoki mushrooms or sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon tamari
For the spring rolls:
- 4 ounces soba noodles cooked, or rice noodles
- peanut sauce
- 4 rice spring roll wrappers Vietnamese
- 1 avocado sliced
- basil fresh, leaves
- mint fresh, leaves
- 1/4 cup microgreens
- tamari for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the tamari and toss. Set aside.
- Toss the noodles with a few spoonfuls of the peanut sauce until they're well coated.
- One at a time, dip the rice paper wrappers into warm water for 5 seconds. Remove and place on a clean towel.
- Place the noodles, mushrooms, avocado, herbs, and microgreens in the center of the rice paper. Wrap & tuck the sides, then the bottom flap, and then carefully roll until the wrapper is tightly closed.
- Serve with extra peanut sauce and tamari for dipping.
Notes
- Spring roll wrappers are typically found in Asian markets or the Asian section of supermarkets; keep them sealed until ready to use to maintain freshness.
- Dip wrappers briefly in warm water to soften, avoiding over-soaking which can cause tearing.
- Arrange fillings near the center of the wrapper to facilitate tight rolling and to prevent gaps or loose wraps.
