These healthy spring rolls are one of my go-to meals when I want something fresh, flavorful, and easy to throw together. Whether you're making them for lunch or a light dinner, they’re packed with crunchy veggies, totally customizable, and naturally gluten-free. The real star? A creamy peanut-lime dipping sauce that takes things to the next level.
I’m terrible with spice, but my boyfriend loves it — so I make the sauce without Sriracha for mine and add a generous swirl into his. Everyone’s happy. 😊
Peanut-Lime Sauce
- 1/2 cup peanuts or 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha (optional)
- 1 tablespoon homemade hoisin sauce
- 1 small lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon water
Blend all ingredients in a mini single-serve blender until smooth and creamy. I use the NutriBullet :)
Homemade Hoisin Sauce
- 4 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp date syrup
Mix until well combined, then use as a key ingredient in the peanut-lime sauce or as a flavorful addition to other dishes!
🥢 What’s Inside My Spring Rolls
What goes inside these rice paper wraps are super flexible — but here’s my favorite combo that never fails:
-
Tofu strips, lightly baked at 375°F for 25 minutes, flipped halfway through
-
Shirataki Miracle noodles or glass noodles (whatever I have on hand)
-
Shredded purple cabbage
-
Shredded carrot
-
Thin cucumber slices
-
Fresh mint
-
Cilantro
-
All wrapped in large (25 cm) rice paper from the Asian market — they hold up way better than the smaller, more brittle kinds!
💡 How to Roll Spring Rolls
-
Soak or cook the noodles according to the package instructions. For glass noodles, boil until soft.
-
Wet your rice paper in water — just a quick dip so it’s pliable, not mushy.
-
Layer your ingredients in the center of the rice paper. I usually go: noodles, cabbage, carrot, tofu, cucumber, herbs.
-
Roll it up like a burrito:
-
Fold the bottom edge up over the filling
-
Fold in the sides
-
Roll tightly from the bottom to the top
-
