For the Peanut Sauce:
​
-
â…“ cup (80g) smooth peanut butter
-
2 tbsp. rice vinegar

-
2 tbsp. honey
-
1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
2-3 tablespoons water, as needed
What You Need To Do:
For the spring rolls:
​
-
Prepare the noodles according to instructions on packaging. Drain and rinse them under cool water, and place in a bowl. Toss the noodles with the sesame oil and salt and set aside.
-
Fill a shallow pan or container with an inch of water. Fold a lint-free tea towel in half and place it next to the dish. Make sure you have prepared all the other ingredients and have them close by.
-
Place one rice paper in the water and let it soak for about 10-20 seconds. Remove it from the water and carefully lay it flat on the towel. Leaving about 1 inch of the rice paper around the edges, cover the lower third of the paper with 2-3 prawns, a few pieces of butter lettuce, followed by all the other ingredients. Sprinkle generously with a mixture of the herbs. Ensure that there is not too much filling as you want to be able to fold the rice paper.
-
Fold the lower edge up over the fillings, rolling upward just until the filling is compactly enclosed. Fold over the short sides like you would to make a burrito. Lastly, roll it up. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
For the peanut sauce:
​
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, tamari, honey, sesame oil, and garlic. Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of water, just enough to achieve a dip-like consistency.
-
Serve the spring rolls with peanut sauce on the side as a dip. Serve them whole, or sliced in half on the diagonal with a sharp chef’s knife.
